<br />8/25/98 <br /> <br />Canon City Flood Hazard Mitigation Plan <br /> <br />o Refrigerators, sofas, and other hard <br />goods should be hosed off and kept for the <br />adjuster's inspection. A good deodorizer when <br />cleaning major kitchen appliances is to add <br />one teaspoon of baking soda to a quart of <br />water. Any partially damaged items should be <br />dried and aired; the adjuster will make recom- <br />mendations as to their repair or disposal. Take <br />pictures of the damage done to your building <br />and contents. <br /> <br />o Take all wooden furniture outdoors, but <br />keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent warp- <br />ing. A garage or carport is a good place for <br />drying. Remove drawers and other moving <br />parts as soon as possible, but do not pry open <br />swollen drawers from the front. Instead, re- <br />move the backing and push the drawers out, <br /> <br />o Shovel out mud while it is still moist to <br />give walls and floors a chance to dry. Once <br />plastered walls have dried, brush offloose dirt. <br />Wash with a mild soap solution and rinse with <br />clean water; always start at the bottom and <br />work up. Ceilings are done last, Special at- <br />tention at this early stage should also be paid <br />to cleaning out heating and plumbing systems. <br /> <br />o Mildew can be removed from dry wood <br />with a solution of 4 to 6 tablespoons of tri-so- <br />dium phosphate (TSP), 1 cup liquid chlorine <br />bleach, and 1 gallon water. <br /> <br />o Clean metal at once then wipe with a kero- <br />sene-soaked cloth. A light coat of oil will pre- <br />vent iron from rusting. Scour all utensils, and, <br />if necessary, use fine steel wool on unpolished <br />surfaces, Aluminum may be brightened by <br />scrubbing with a solution of vinegar, cream of <br />tartar, and hot water, <br /> <br />o Quickly separate all laundry items to <br />avoid running colors. Clothing or household <br />fabrics should be allowed to dry (slowly, away <br />from direct heat) before brushing off loose dirt. <br />If you cannot get to a professional cleaner, <br />rinse the items in lukewann water to remove <br />lodged soil. Then wash with mild detergent; <br />rinse and dry in sunlight. <br /> <br />o Flootkd basenumts should be drained and <br />cleaned as soon as possible. However, struc- <br />tural damage can occur by pumping out the <br />water too quickly. After the flood waters <br />around your property have subsided, begin <br />draining the basement in stages, about 1/3 of <br />the water volume each day. <br /> <br />"I <br />, <br /> <br />20 <br />
