The danger of a flooding event will not end when the storm ends.

You still have to manage all that water and the floodwater may stick around up to 11 days or more before it finally evaporates... so it isn't time for you to relax just yet.

When you must evacuate your home or office, you usually do not go straight back until you were told it's safe. You can't forget to be careful.

Floods Aren't Natural Private Pools

• Sewage, debris, as well as other disagreeable things,  could be swimming around in the storm-water left-overs.
• So swimming, wading, rafting or any exposure could cause you to get sick.

The water is still dangerous

• So do not drink the water or allow the water to get into your mouth or any open cuts.
• Water also conducts electricity and underground electricity lines can provide you a harmful jolt.
  

Flood Waters vs. Animals:

• Some critters may find your workplace a comfy spot to dwell.
• Snakes along with other creatures may possibly enter your structure so be safe and wear work boots and thick gloves when you are moving around and cleaning up the area.

Remember, when tap water is dangerous to drink, it's dangerous to the pets too.
