Identifying Potential Hazards

floodwaters can cause waterborne illnesses, electrical shock, and even death. Make sure to check your home for potential hazards such as standing water, electrical outlets, and sinks that are filled with sewage or chemicals.

• Unplug appliances and electronics to prevent damage from power surges
• Use a dehumidifier to reduce the risk of mold growth and mildew
• Avoid using chemicals or cleaning products that can contaminate floodwaters
