Raw sewage backing up into tubs or toilets is a health hazard. Don't use water in the home — call an emergency plumber right away and avoid the affected areas.
A failed water heater isn't always an emergency, but if you smell gas near the heater, leave the home and call your gas company first, then a licensed plumber.
Turn off the water supply to the affected fixture or the main shutoff. Document the damage for insurance before cleanup. Then call a plumber and potentially a water damage restoration company.
