Preventing Flooding
Before a flooding disaster occurs, take preventive measures to protect your home and belongings. Consider installing storm shutters or impact-resistant windows, and elevate electrical outlets and switches to at least 24 inches above ground level.
Responding To A Flooding Disaster
After a flooding disaster, prioritize your safety. Avoid flooded areas until they have been declared safe by local authorities. Document damage to your property and take photos for insurance purposes.
Paying Off Mortgage After A Flooding Disaster
After a flooding disaster, you may need to refinance or restructure your mortgage to avoid foreclosure. Consider working with a financial advisor to explore options and find the best solution for your situation.
