Understanding the importance of prompt action is crucial when dealing with a flood disaster. The first step to recovery is to assess the damage and determine the extent of the flooding.
Assessing Damage
- Check for any signs of water damage, such as water stains or warping of walls and floors.
- Look for any structural damage, like cracks in walls or ceilings, which could indicate a potential hazard.
- Maintain a record of the damage, including photos and notes about any repairs needed.
