There are many dangers hiding after floodwaters recede. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes. The most common injury following a disaster is cut feet. Cuts or open wounds that are exposed to flood waters can invite serious infection, including tetanus, and warrant medical attention. Rubber gloves and rubber boots with hard soles are recommended.
Pay close attention to smells of gas or something burning. Frayed wires can send sparks or invisible electrical currents through water. Even if the power is out it is important to shut off your homes electricity at the breaker. When the power comes back on, a simple frayed wire can cause disaster including fire or electrocution. If you have to step in water, or if there is evidence of water inside the box we recommend you seek professional assistance. All electrical equipment should be checked and dried before used.
