Book excerpt: When in doubt, throw it out. Don't risk injury or infection. 2: Ask for help. Many people can do a lot of the cleanup and repairs discussed in this book. But if you have technical questions or do not feel comfortable doing something, get professional help. If there is a federal disaster declaration, a telephone "hotline" will often be publicized to provide information about public, private, and voluntary agency programs to help you recover from the flood. Government disaster programs are there to help you, the taxpayer. You're paying for them; check them out. 3: Floodproof. It is very likely that your home will be flooded again someday. Floodproofing means using materials and practices that will prevent or minimize flood damage in the future. Many floodproofing techniques are inexpensive or can be easily incorporated into your rebuilding program. You can save a lot of money by floodproofing as you repair and rebuild (see Step 8).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Aid for Flooded Homes and Farms Look for loose plaster ready to fall from the ceiling, and break it down With a stick before moving around in the building. Wet plaster is heavy, and is dangerous if loose. Watch for more loose plaster as the house dries out. Open all doors and Windows to dry out the house as both air and heat are essential. If Windows are swelled so that they cannot be raised, take off the small strip that holds in the lower sash (use a chisel carefully to avoid marring woodwork), and shove the sash from the frame by pushing from the outside. Be careful not to break the glass. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
