After flooding, it is important to know how to clean up safely.
Listen to local authorities to determine when it is safe for you to return home. Do not return home until local officials indicate it is safe to do so.Stay vigilant and monitor radio or TV stations for local emergency management officials’ guidance.
Ensure water is safe to drink, cook, or clean with after a flood. Oftentimes local officials put a boil water order in place following a flood or hurricane.
Remember, never run a generator inside your home, and keep it away from windows, doors, and vents.
Tips from FEMA for clean-up after returning home:
To learn more about what to do before, during, and after a flood or a hurricane, visit www.ready.gov/floods, Prepareathon’s™ Flood and Hurricane pages and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Flood Water After an Emergency or Disaster.
If you experienced a flood or other damages due to recent hurricane activity, please visit www.disasterassistance.gov to register for federal assistance.
