You, as a homeowner, are responsible for taking the first steps to minimize any damage to personal property after an incident has occurred. 

• Remove any undamaged items from the area
• Contact your insurance agent as soon as possible to find out if your policy covers the damage
• Take immediate steps to remove excess water or sewage, using professionals if needed

There are damage restoration firms in the phone book.

Use common sense to avoid hazards to your safety or health.
