<br />The sewer and water systems should be sealed off to prevent <br />health hazards that would be caused by interflows with flood <br />waters. A water heater moved to an attic can act as an <br />emergency storage tank for a gravity-fed potable water supply. <br />Heating and air conditioning ducts should have "pop-out" holes <br />or tape over holes along the bottom to permit water to drain <br />out when the flood recedes. <br /> <br />G'VfItI-lEW <br />EtJEIZ4~ ANV <br />ctM~,I(JICN) <br /> <br />Am( 'SI"Alf ----- <br />R>R PI"( <br />~- <br /> <br />,eA1.Et> WE1.1. <br />I-lfAt> <br /> <br /> <br />AT1ll.

Let the water in. Make sure a doorway, window well, or <br />inlet pipe will be open to let the water in before it gets <br />deep enough to damage your walls.
