I suggest you locate the main gas and water and electrical panel, to be able to shut off in case of an emergency. The water shutoff is usually under the house or in a closet (nothing like trying to find the water shutoff quickly if something starts leaking).

I'd also recommend making sure it operates and you know which way to turn it. A friend of mine had trouble shutting his after the water valve to his toilet broke off. Apparently he gave up, ran upstairs, and plugged it with his finger then use his cellphone to call someone else to come in and get the valve shut. He swears it just didn't work, but I have a feeling he was doing it wrong.
