After storm or water damage, first make sure everyone is safe, shut off water or power to affected areas if it is safe to do so, photograph the damage for insurance, cover openings to keep weather out, and call a 24/7 emergency contractor to secure and plan repairs.

Step 1: Stay safe

Keep away from downed lines, sagging ceilings and wet electrical areas.

If you smell gas, leave the home and call the utility.

Step 2: Stop the damage

Shut off the main water valve for leaks. Move valuables away from water.

Cover broken windows or doors temporarily if you can do so safely.

Step 3: Document everything

Take photos and video before cleanup for insurance records.

Keep receipts for any emergency supplies.
