Document Everything
Take photos and videos of your property before the flood to document any damage. This will be useful if you need to file a claim with your insurance company or if you need to prove that your home was damaged.
Contact Your Insurance Company
If your home has flooded, contact your insurance company immediately. They will guide you through the process of filing a claim and providing any necessary documentation.
Be Prepared for Recovery
Having a plan in place can help you navigate this difficult time. Consider opening your home to temporary guests, like family members or friends, and have a supply of non-perishable food and water on hand.
Seek Professional Help
If you're feeling overwhelmed or need professional help, consider hiring a contractor to assess your property and provide recommendations for repairs. You can also reach out to local non-profits that specialize in flood relief.
