Preparing for a hurricane: Tips from Habitat for Humanity International

Post- Storm Tips from Amplify Clearwater:

  • Do not drive in flood waters, even if they look only inches deep. Turn around, don’t drown.

  • Do not walk in flood waters; those waters are full of hazards like bacteria, wildlife, debris and more.

  • If you are in your home and you have water inundation, turn off the main circuit breaker if you can get to it without standing in water.

  • If your home or business flooded, before you clean up or move any debris, photograph and list all damaged or lost items. Take photos of how high the water was in the house.

  • If you have an electric vehicle and it flooded with salt water, do not park it in a garage because it is susceptible to spontaneous combustion.

  • If you have damages, contact your insurance agent and file your insurance claim as soon as possible
