Flood Preparedness-Part 3

4/10/2020 (Permalink)

This is third, and last, installment of our Flood Preparedness series. We are going to touch base on what to do after a flood.   

• Only return home after authorities say its safe. You will want to listen to local authorities for information and instructions.
• After returning home you will want to access the damage. Be sure to wear thick gloves and boots before touching anything since there may be snakes or other animals in your home.
• Do not touch electrical equipment if its wet or you’re standing in water since this poses a risk for electrocution.
• If you use a generator or other gas powered machinery be sure to us it outdoors ONLY and away from window to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
• If there is damage to your home and you plan to file a claim, contact your insurance adjuster and they will guide you through the steps to file a claim. At this time you’ll also want to call a qualified reputable remediation company to come out, assess the damage, and create a remediation strategy.
