Assessing Damage
After a flood, it's crucial to assess the extent of the damage to your home and property. Take note of any visible signs of water damage, such as water stains, warping of wood, or mineral deposits on walls and ceilings.
Secure any valuable or irreplaceable items in a safe place, including furniture, electronics, and personal belongings. Consider using waterproof containers to protect sensitive documents and valuables.
Preparing for Future Disasters
Don't wait until after the initial cleanup to prepare for future disasters. Take this opportunity to inspect and repair any damaged areas, install flood-proof barriers around windows and doors, and consider investing in a flood insurance policy.
