Before The Disaster

Carefully inspect your home for damage before a flood occurs. Check for signs of water damage, such as leaks, warping of flooring, and stains on walls.

• Pile up wet items and cover them with plastic or dry bags to prevent further damage.
• Identify potential sources of water damage, such as burst pipes and electrical issues, and address them promptly.
• Consider investing in flood insurance, especially if you live in a high-risk area.

During The Disaster

Stay informed about the situation through local news and emergency alerts. Be prepared to evacuate your home if necessary, and follow evacuation routes provided by authorities.

• Keep a battery-powered radio with you to stay up-to-date on updates from authorities.
• Charge your devices and keep essential documents, such as insurance policies and identification, in an easily accessible location.
• Stay away from floodwaters if possible, as they can be contaminated with sewage, bacteria, and other hazards.

After The Disaster

Prioritize your safety by assessing the damage to your home and belongings. Take photos of damage for insurance purposes and document any repairs or replacements needed.

• Contact your insurance provider as soon as possible to report damages and initiate the claims process.
• Seek professional help from a contractor, plumber, or other experts who specialize in flood damage repair.
• Consider using temporary housing or renting a room while repairs are being made to prevent further displacement.
