<br />Plastic sheeting: Leftover sheets from painting drop cloths will be <br />good for sealing around doors or plugging holes. Heavy sheets (at least <br />6 mil) should be purchased to make sandbag walls watertight. <br /> <br />Strongbox or waterproof box for valuable papers. <br /> <br />Things to take when you have to evacuate: flashlight, portable radio, <br />spare batteries, first aid kit, rope, blankets, raincoats, camera. <br /> <br />Things to clean up with after the flood: shovels, mops, buckets, boots <br />or waders, clothesline, bleach, soap, rags, garbage bags, tools. <br /> <br />Things for eating after the flood: (you may not be in danger of starving <br />butif the stores are damaged, food could be hard to obtain locally): <br />drinking water containers (use ones with tight caps like empty milk jugs), <br />canned food, emergency or camping cooking gear, water purification tablets <br />(available at drug stores). Keep these items in the attic so there will <br />be no contact with flood waters. <br /> <br />J. Paperwork <br /> <br />In addition to preparing your evacuation plan and stockpiling toiletpaper, <br />there is some other paperwork that should be done. Do you have a list <br />of emergency telephone numbers? Do you know how to contact your flood <br />insurance agent? Do you have a copy of this manual or other post-flood <br />instructions? Are all these papers kept in a waterproof box? <br /> <br /> <br />~O P <br />~~ ~~~~Q <br />Wt1. -to GGfttac+ P <br />. <br /> <br />~~~ !b~ ,n <br />~~ r.ou @fI1JtI~Di5 <br />~~~~ <br />@> ~~tm~ ~~~~~~ <br /><0'~ ~\)"" <br />rJ &s&@J@~ <br /> <br />30 <br />
