Safety first after a storm
Storm flooding can bring contaminated water, hidden electrical hazards, and weakened structures. Don't enter standing water near outlets or the panel, watch for damaged ceilings, and if the flooding was significant, wait for the all-clear before going back in. Your safety comes before any belongings.
Protect your insurance claim
- Photograph and video all damage before moving anything
- Keep a list of damaged belongings
- Don't discard major items until they're documented
- Note that storm/flood coverage differs from a burst pipe — check your policy and any flood coverage
