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.
