Disaster Preparedness And Recovery: What Every Homeowner Needs To Know In case your home has flooded, the first thing you should do is to document the damage. This will help you and insurance companies to assess the extent of the damage and make a claim if necessary.
Once the initial assessment is complete, it's time to start planning your flood recovery. Start by gathering any valuable documents and items that you need to replace or repair. This may include insurance information, utility bills, and personal belongings.
Next, take photos of the damage for your insurance claims and documentation purposes. Be sure to document any structural damage, such as mold or mildew, that may have been caused by the flood.
Finally, contact your utility companies to report any outages or disruptions. Keep records of all correspondence with them and be sure to take photos of the damaged equipment for insurance purposes.
