Make sure you document every loss/damage and make a detailed report just to be on the safe side and allow fast processing of your request. Seek any financial assistance the government is offering as that will help you get back on your feet faster.

  • Make sure your property (home of business) is safe to enter before you begin the cleanup process after the flood damage. There are chances that the foundation might be damaged or other structural damage may have occured.
