1. Establish safe access

   The technician identifies submerged electrical equipment before entering the Storm Lake room. Occupants remain outside the water path.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Outside floodwater is Category 3. The crew identifies porous finishes that cannot be cleaned for safe reuse.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers address moisture remaining after extraction. Readings shape equipment placement.
