Propane ran out. Need to know what to do until I get more and then what to do when I get more gas.

There is no pilot light on your power vented hot water heater. You may as well unplug it because the induction fan will continue to run. Hopefully your propane company is responsible enough to perform a gas leak check on your propane system. After the gas is turned back on, you can plug in your water heater to start it up. Run-outs are costly so it's bet to get on automatic delivery or call when the tank is down to 30%
