- 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.

A patio door can become a storm entry path when runoff rises. The restoration work follows the water into nearby flooring.
Frozen soil can limit absorption during a thaw. Surface flow may cross a doorway and wet finished flooring.
