NEW YORK, Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- THIS IS A MULTIVU SPECIAL

REPORT.

NATURAL DISASTERS ARE DEVASTATING IN MANY WAYS, INCLUDING THE CLEAN-

UP PROCESS

THAT FOLLOWS. NOT ONLY IS RELIEF COSTLY AND TIME CONSUMING, BUT

THERE CAN BE

DANGERS LURKING IN THE DEBRIS.

TO STAY SAFE AFTER A STORM, EXPERTS AT LOWE'S RECOMMEND A FEW

SIMPLE TIPS:

GET CONNECTED -- LISTEN TO BATTERY-POWERED RADIO OR TV REPORTS ABOUT

THE

SITUATION. SURVEY THE SCENE -- EVALUATE WHAT YOU CAN DO YOURSELF

AND WHAT'S

BETTER LEFT TO THE PROS. FLOODWATER CAN CONTAIN BACTERIA, SO USE

GLOVES AND A

MOP OR HEAVY SPONGE TO DISINFECT.

JIM FRASSO OF LOWE'S.

" Always remember to put safety first. When there's water

damage, rip out

and discard any soaked carpets to prevent mold from growing.

Disinfect all

surfaces to kill mold before you repair and re-paint. When operating

generators, use caution -- operate in a well-ventilated area and

always follow

manufacturer's instructions. "
