What to do first
- Do not walk or drive through flood water. A few inches of moving water can knock you down or carry a car.
- If water reached outlets or the electrical panel, do not touch them. Turn off power at the main breaker only if you are standing somewhere dry.
- Take dated photos and video of the water line, floors, walls and damaged belongings before you move anything.
- Start drying as soon as it is safe: pump or mop out water and open the house up. Wet drywall and carpet can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
- Call your insurer to ask how to start a claim. Flood is often a separate policy from home insurance.
