3. Photograph everything before moving anything. Open closets, pull back rugs, shoot inside cabinets. Adjusters decide claims on evidence, and memories fade.

5. Prop up furniture on blocks or foil to keep legs out of water. East Bridgewater restoration techs do this on arrival, but every hour before that counts against your furniture.
6. Shut off the water at the main valve if the source is plumbing. Then kill power to wet areas at the breaker. Do not step into standing water until the power is off.
