Flood, Water Leakage

In the case of imminent or actual flooding:

Flooding can occur due to major rainstorms, water main breaks, or loss of power to sump pumps.

If you can do so safely:

  • Unplug electrical equipment before water reaches it.
  • Use plastic or tarps to cover water-sensitive materials and equipment.
  • Move materials from floors and other flooded areas to a safe location.
  • Never enter areas where there could be submerged electrical equipment.
