it’s most important that you protect yourself and your family first: • If you are indoors, move to the upper level of your home, and bring a battery operated radio and flashlights. • Turn off electricity and outside gas valve. • If you are outdoors, move to higher ground and avoid flood waters - even 15 cm of fast moving water can sweep you off your feet. • Don’t stay in your car – according to the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction (ICLR), as little as 60 cm of water can carry a car away. If it is not safe to leave your car, park at the most elevated point. What to do if your home or business has been flooded • Do NOT touch electrical wires, appliances or devices. • Separate damaged property from undamaged property, and prepare an inventory of what has been lost or damaged. • Take photographs of damaged property. • Your insurance company is there to help. Contact your independent insurance broker or your insurance company to report any damage.
