Day 4: After the Storm – What to Do If Flooding Happens
Sometimes, even with the best prep, water gets in. The good news is: acting fast can limit the damage and save you money. Here's what to do if your home experiences water intrusion:
✅ Post-Storm Checklist:
- Stay Safe
Turn off electricity if water is near outlets or appliances.
Avoid standing water—it could be contaminated or electrically charged.
- Document the Damage
Take photos of affected areas for insurance claims.
- Remove Wet Items
Move furniture, rugs, and valuables to dry areas ASAP.
➤ Don’t throw them away—your insurance may want to inspect them.
