Kempsey Shire Council
Kempsey Shire Council has compiled a list of some practical ways to keep you safe when cleaning in and around your house after a flood.
Household clean-up
- Wear protective clothing, including boots, gloves and eye protection.
- Check for snakes and other wildlife that may have taken refuge in your home.
- Remove all wet items from the house as soon as possible, including carpets, rugs, furniture, bedding and clothing.
- Use a hose to wash mud and debris from a house, starting at the highest point and moving downwards.
- Open doors and windows to dry out the interior of the house. You can also use fans if these have not been exposed to floodwater.
- Wash your hands well after any flood clean-up activities.
