In the event of a flooding disaster, it is crucial for homeowners to be prepared and know what to do. The first step is to remain calm and assess the situation.
Take photos of the damage from multiple angles, including any personal belongings that were affected by the floodwaters. This will be essential in case of insurance claims or disputes with your landlord/property owner.
What To Do Next:
- Turn off utilities such as electricity and gas if possible to prevent further damage.
- Unplug electronics and appliances from the power grid to protect them from water damage.
- Use caution when exiting the premises, avoiding standing water or electrical hazards.
