• If you can access circuit breakers safely, turn off power in all affected areas.
• If the water source is a leak, if it can be accessed safely, turn off the water at the shut-off valve.
• If practical, mop the wet area, or blot the water with towels.
• Remove anything that could cause staining on wet carpets, rugs or floors, such as newspapers, books and magazines.
• Remove lamps and items from wood furniture and wipe the surfaces.
• Remove wet upholstery cushions, propping them up in a dry area.
• Place foil or plywood under furniture legs to separate them from wet carpet, rugs or flooring.
• Remove all moisture sensitive items from the affected areas and put them in a dry, safe place.
• Use clothespins to hold furniture skirts off of damp floors.
• Hang draperies that have come into contact with wet carpeting.
• Hang any affected furs and leather goods to dry at room temperature.
• If the water did not originate from a clean source and is clearly contaminated, avoid all contact with wet areas.
• If you have come into contact with contaminated water, wash affected areas immediately.
• Do not spread water from room to room if the wet areas are clearly contaminated.
• Heating or air conditioning units can spread contaminated air, so avoid turning them on.
• Do not enter any room where there is an electric shock hazard from exposed outlets, switches, circuit breakers or equipment.
• Do not use any electrical appliance, including ceiling fixtures or fans, while standing on wet carpet, concrete or flooring of any type.
• Never try to extract water with a household vacuum cleaner or use household fans to attempt to dry the structure. These machines could get damaged or you could suffer an electric shock.
