Here are a few tips should you find yourself in a storm damaged area. These tips will help minimize damage until professional help arrives. 

• First and foremost, do not operate any equipment that requires electrical power in areas that have standing water or moisture.
• If the water has entered the structure through the flooding of a creek, stream, or river, if it is seawater, or if it has filtered through insulation during its intrusion, it is considered to be black water and could be hazardous to your health. For this type of damage, avoid contact with contaminated items as much as possible.
• Take the greatest caution while entering your home, and wear sturdy shoes and protective clothing when dealing with flooded areas.
• Throw away all foods - even canned goods - that have come into contact with flood waters.
• Remove and prop wet upholstery and pillow cushions for drying. Wipe excess water from wood furniture after removal of lamps and tabletop items.
• Only open windows to promote drying if the air outside is less humid than the air inside.
• If your home has a crawlspace, be aware excess moisture in this area can often foster mold growth.
