Abstract

The article focuses on the impact of recent winter storms on the East Coast, which caused significant flooding in states like Connecticut, New Jersey, and Maryland. It highlights that most home and renters insurance policies do not cover flood damages, despite the fact that 99% of U.S. counties have experienced flooding since 1998. Key recommendations for homeowners affected by flooding include ensuring safety before returning home, documenting damage for insurance claims, using fans and dehumidifiers for minor water issues, and acting quickly to prevent mold growth. For extensive damage, hiring a professional water remediation company is advised to mitigate further risks. [Extracted from the article]
