Things like turning the water off, or unplugging things… At minimum I shut the water valve and unplug pretty much anything I can. I’ll usually set the thermostats to be a little more extreme than usual. Do you do anything?

    Flipping breakers would be significantly faster than unplugging stuff.

    I turn down the HVAC, confirm all the windows and doors are properly locked, draw all the blinds, and shut down the computers.

      Although flipping breakers could be faster, that requires wanting to unplug everything on the circuit, and having a well labeled breaker panel.

        And you don’t want to unplug everything because of the fridge / freezer for example.

        On one hand, yes, on the other hand, if your breaker panel isn’t properly labeled, that’d be a good idea to do. Much easier to do when things are working than when they aren’t or there’s an emergency and you suddenly need to figure it out.
