WVU Extension sends these tips to help during flood recovery efforts.
As the flood waters recede and you are allowed back into your home or business to assess the damage make sure you take lots of pictures of the building and its contents to document damages for insurance claims.
Keep watch for electrical dangers and report downed power lines immediately. As you enter buildings look for loose plaster or drywall, and ceilings that could fall. Also watch the floors for loose nails and boards.
If you have a septic tank, cesspool, pit, or leaching system record damages to those as well. Damaged sewage systems are health hazards and need to be serviced as soon as possible.
It is recommended to have an up to date tetanus vaccination, meaning within the last 10 years, before working in a flooded area.
Now more than ever it is important to wash your hands with clean or disinfected water and soap before eating, smoking, or touching your face.
