WHAT TO DO DURING A FLOOD
Below are the Steps to take during a Flood:
During a flood, your main focus should be on safety
- Evacuate immediately if floodwaters are rising or pose a threat. Don’t attempt to walk through moving water.
- Stay informed: Listen to local radio or TV for updates and instructions from emergency officials.
- Follow evacuation orders: Leave promptly if directed to do so. If you have time, turn off utilities at the main breaker box and gas line.
- Seek higher ground: If evacuation isn’t possible, move to the highest level of your home and stay there.
- Avoid flooded areas: Don’t drive through flooded roads or walk in moving water. Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you off your feet.

Flood Damage After Significant Flood
A major flood can be overwhelming, but prioritizing your safety and taking quick action can minimize damage.
Prioritize safety: Evacuate if threatened, wait for official “all clear” to re-enter. Document damage with photos/videos for insurance, then file a claim ASAP and follow their instructions. Minimize damage by removing standing water, airing out the area, and using a dehumidifier to prevent mold. Discard unsalvageable items (carpets, furniture) and disinfect salvageable ones. Seek professional help for extensive flood damage cleanup services and stay informed with local authorities.
Flood Damage Cleanup Process
After the floodwaters have begun to recede, Texas Dry Out can initiate the flood damage restoration process for your property. This involves a series of steps to fully restore your property:
- Extracting water and assessing the extent of flood damage.
- Safely disposing of irreparably damaged furnishings and contents.
- Cleaning and decontaminating the building to eliminate any potential environmental, chemical, or biological hazards from the floodwater.
- Inspecting the structure for any structural damage that could pose present or future risks.
- Thoroughly drying and dehumidifying the property to prevent residual water, which could otherwise lead to additional damage such as mold growth.
- Before resuming normal use, it’s advisable to have a plumber, electrician, and gas engineer inspect each utility service. Floods can disrupt utilities significantly, so it’s crucial to ensure their safety before use resumes.
Flood Damage Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do in preparation for a flood?
Prepare for a flood by staying informed, creating an emergency plan, and assembling a kit with essentials. Safeguard property by elevating valuables and securing outdoor items. Review and secure flood insurance, and protect important documents. Follow local authorities’ instructions during flood alerts.
What measures can be taken to minimize flood damage?
Reducing flood damage requires various actions. This involves rules for where buildings can be built in flood areas, building barriers like levees, and setting up systems to warn people when floods might happen. Making buildings and roads stronger, following rules to make buildings resist floods, and using natural ways to control floods are important too. Teaching people about flood risks and getting them ready, as well as using land in ways that don’t make floods worse, are also part of the solution. It’s important to invest in plans to manage floods well and to work together with others to make sure everyone is doing their part.
What is the most damaging type of flood?
The most harmful kind of flood is usually a flash flood. These floods happen quickly and without much warning. They happen when there’s heavy rain or fast melting of snow or ice. Flash floods can cover areas fast, causing a lot of damage to houses, roads, and people. They’re dangerous because they come on suddenly and are very powerful.
