1. Get to Safety

The first thing to do when a flood happens is to get to safety. Flood water can be polluted and dangerous, so the most important thing to do is to go to a place where members of your household can be safe. If you have time to collect some emergency items before the flood happens, that’s great. If not, prioritize going to a place that is dry and safe from flood water. 

2. Record the Damage

Once you’re able to get back to your house, make a record of the damage. You can take pictures or video with your cell phone. Having this documentation will help with your claim later. If possible, make this documentation before making any repairs.

3. Contact Your Insurer

Once you’ve documented the damage to your house, start the claim process as soon as possible. Your insurance agent can help you get started with this.
