Listen to authorities: Make sure to get the "all clear" before returning home.
Avoid flood waters: Six inches of moving water can knock you down. One foot of fast-moving water can sweep your car away.
Even still water is dangerous: Pools of water can be electrified from underground or downed power lines.
Take inventory: Inspect your home and take any pictures of damage that occurred. Stay out of your home if you smell gas, notice fire damage, or if any floodwater remains.
