- Follow evacuation instructions and wait for safe entry.
- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
- Photograph wet rooms and belongings.

Floor finishes from later renovations can trap water above an older subfloor. Separate moisture checks matter. Readings can reveal moisture under a newer finish.
