Before the Flood

It's essential to take proactive steps before a flood occurs. Ensure that your home is well-maintained, with proper drainage and waterproofing measures in place.

• Install storm drains and gutters to direct water away from your home.
• Caulk cracks in walls and windows to prevent water entry.
• Regularly inspect your roof for damaged or missing shingles, and repair them promptly.

Preparing Your Home

Once you've identified the source of the flood, take steps to prepare your home. This includes:

• Mobilize essential supplies, such as food, water, and first aid kits.
• Clear walkways and debris from around your home.
• Seal any gaps or cracks in walls and floors to prevent further damage.

After the Flood

If you've been affected by a flood, prioritize your safety above all else. Be cautious when entering your home, and don't use electrical appliances until they're been properly inspected and certified.

• Have a plan in place for emergency situations, such as power outages or water damage.
• Keep important documents and valuables safe and dry.
• Maintain your home's exterior to prevent further damage from moisture.
