SHUT OFF ELECTRICITY Shut off the electricity to
your home if you decide to stand in the water
or if the water starts rising closer to the
electrical outlets. Electricity can pass through
water causing harm to humans and damage to the
home. SAVE VALUABLE ITEMS Before water can touch
any valuable items, be sure to save them! If the
water has affected the items ,do not touch them
in case the water has contaminants. Any boxes,
paper items, and wood items, should be saved
immediately before water reaches them because
after time ,mold may start to grow.
