What Should You Do in Case of a Flood?

If your house or apartment is flooded, the first step you need to take is to make sure the scene poses no additional safety hazards.

• Turn off the water line—if that is the source of the flooding—to prevent further damage.
• Disconnect electrical appliances and switch off all electrical fuses, even if the power is already out, to eliminate the risk of electrocution.
• Alert your utility providers if you suspect any damage to your gas, water, electricity, or sewage lines, as those will require professional attention.
• Check your home for any structural damage caused by the flooding, such as a warped floor or a sagging ceiling.
