- Follow local reentry instructions if the neighborhood has flooded.
- Photograph the visible water line and affected belongings from a safe place.
- Keep children and pets away from wet rooms and contaminated items.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Approximately 14% of units in the selected ZIP area were built in 2000 or later. Newer materials can also retain stormwater. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Junction was built in the 1970s. Flooring installed over an older slab can trap water between layers. The technician checks that hidden boundary.
Cold weather does not remove contamination from outside runoff. Protective cleanup still applies.
