Best wishes to you and all your fellow soggy residents!

p.s. Assume all floodwater is contaminated with chemical as well as biological hazards unless you know otherwise (if it came off your roof, for example).

If you have a tub, fill it and remember you can drain the water from the water heater.

Stay safe!
