Tips for Navigating a Flood Emergency
#1 Turn off the power and gas
Safety First: Floodwater can cause electrical short circuits or gas leaks. If it’s safe to do so, immediately turn off the main power supply at the circuit breaker to prevent electrical hazards. Also, turn off the gas supply if you can, especially if there’s any risk of a gas leak.
#2 Stop or slow the water flow
Locate the Source: Identify where the water is coming from (burst pipe, rain, appliance malfunction, etc.). If you can, stop the source of the flooding (shut off the main water supply or close the appliance's water valve). This can help minimize the damage and prevent further flooding.
Move Belongings: If possible, move valuable or sensitive items (furniture, electronics, documents) out of the water’s path. The sooner you can relocate items, the better.
#3 Call for Help
Emergency Services: If the flood is severe or dangerous, contact emergency services. They can help you assess the situation and assist with evacuation if necessary.
Flood Cleanup: Reach out to a professional water damage restoration company to help with cleanup. The longer water sits, the more damage it can cause, especially when it comes to mold and structural damage.
While waiting for help to arrive, try to keep yourself and your family safe, and avoid wading through the water if you suspect electrical hazards.
