​You may encounter many guides on what to do to prepare for a flood. How to protect your home and everyone in it. A few pointers on how to minimize or avoid any damage. A lot will also be written on what to do during a flood. However, it is often overlooked to check what should be done after experiencing a flood. Unfortunately, it does not end once the flood recedes. In fact, the work has just begun. Let's focus more on the impact it has on your home. Any injuries or people affected is a whole different story.
​Determine The Damage
Once everyone is safe, and all parties have been accounted for, it is time to face reality. Most likely, your home has sustained some damage. Water damage can do a lot to your home. It can weaken the foundations, corrode the metal, and displace your items. It is essential to find out the extent of the damage your home has sustained. It will determine if you will be able to stay in it while repairs are being done, or you will need temporary shelter elsewhere.

Temporary Shelter
It can be with a friend, with some family members, or even an evacuation center. If you live in an area where floods are always a threat, an emergency kit will be very handy. Always have a bag ready with necessities. You can take this with you in the event you are displaced. 

Cleaning And Clearing
Flood water is dirty. It will also bring debris, dirt, mud, and many other things into your home. Cleaning your home will be a big ordeal. From clearing the debris, removing any damaged items, and cleaning away the dirt and mud. One important thing to remember is to disinfect. This is the perfect environment for many bacteria and viruses. You will want to avoid getting sick during this challenging time.

Repairs And Reconstruction
Now the repair work can begin. Work with a contractor you can depend on. You may want to consider constructing some flood prevention measures into your home for next time.

Conclusion
Recovering from the effects of a flood is difficult. It can be emotionally draining as much as physically taxing. The good news is you do not need to do it alone. Having the right flood coverage will help protect you. Knowing someone has your back greatly reduces your stress.

I like what you said about remembering to disinfect after cleaning up the damage caused by a flood. Flood insurance seems like the best way to go in order to receive compensation for the value of your belongings that were ruined in a flood. I am moving to a home that lies on a flood plain, so I'll be sure to find ample insurance coverage in order to protect my home from flood damages.
