To ensure your safety and minimize damage, follow these steps after a flood disaster:
Turn off the power to electrical outlets and circuits at the main breaker or fuse box. If you can't find the breakers or fuses, turn off the main circuit breaker or switch.
Unplug all electronics and appliances to prevent damage from power surges.
Cover windows and doors with plywood or shutters to prevent further water entry.
Use sandbags or flood barriers around your home's foundation, walls, and roof to protect it from further water.
