A basic business insurance plan covers flood damage. However, if you are not in a flood plain, you're not required to purchase it and many people do not. Flood insurance has fine print that is easily missed, so be very specific with your representative about what they cover.

Once a region has been officially declared a "disaster area" by government authorities, property owners have access to increased resources, possible financial assistance, and public services to protect and remediate the area.

Once you get insurance approval, use a sump pump and a wet vac to remove the water. Water is heavy, so be safe when carrying water up and out. Use blower fans and floor dryers to dry the area and allow fresh air to circulate. Document the stages of your cleanup.

Make sure your structure has been declared safe by the proper authorities before entering or beginning any assessment of damage. Wear protective clothing such as waterproof footwear, gloves, safety goggles and hard hats. Contact utility companies to report any damage.

Mold and mildew are fungi that can start growing within 24 hours after a flood, and can lurk throughout an office space from top to bottom as well as in crawl spaces.

Even if the water is clear, it could be contaminated by sewage or chemicals or even electrified. Avoid contact with water until authorities declare it safe and wear hip- or waist-high waterproof boots and gloves to sort through any debris.
