In the wake of a disaster Wholesale New York Knicks Jerseys , flood damage cleanup can be a daunting task. It is not just a physically demanding exercise, but an emotional one as well. After all, this is not just any structure that was damaged. This is your home and you have many fond memories in it. Some things that may have been irreparably damaged are things that have sentimental value for you.

While it's understandable to want to re-occupy your home as soon as you can, flood damage cleanup has an element of timing in it. Do not go into a building or structure without first making a thorough assessment of the safety of doing so. As a rule Wholesale New Orleans Pelicans Jerseys , wait for official public announcement from authorities when it would be safe to do so. And do not take up residence in the second or third floor unless the first floor foundation has passed structural tests!

Make sure that the water level has gone down completely or to a manageable level before starting any flood damage cleanup. When the water is still at least thigh height, don't go. You run the risk of stepping into a structurally vulnerable surface or a sharp object as you cannot see enough to anticipate these risks.

Remember that dirty water and open wounds can possibly be a lethal combination. Nails and shards of glass possibly lining the floors, even rubber boots may not be enough protection. You have no idea what harmful chemicals are in the water and its better to be safe than sorry. Your health is priority over any recovery or restoration that you can do during your flood damage cleanup.

Beware of electrical currents. Do not go into a flooded area when you know that the community has not yet shut down all power lines. The same goes for potential gas leaks; wait for official pronouncements from local firemen and public health officers if it is time to go in and start flood damage cleanup.

Start to ventilate and dry the place. Open up all windows that will allows air to circulate and replace the humid air. Floors and walls can be mopped with dry cloth. You can take sturdy wood furniture and similar household items that can be dried in the sun outside. More fragile items, like documents and prized books may be dried via a hair dryer. You should do this part of the flood damage cleanup in a separate and safe place.

Inspect the walls and floors. Wood needs to be aired and dried and then later Wholesale Minnesota Timberwolves Jerseys , tested for significant decay and damage. Water can escalate pre-existing vulnerability in wood such as a termite infestation and molds and when significant damage has been identified, it is time to replace or repair. Water can also seep into cracks and crevices in concrete foundations, especially if the concrete is an old one. For all you know, the surface may have dried but a basin of water has collected under and within it. This too you must meticulously inspect to further damage.

Lastly Wholesale Milwaukee Bucks Jerseys , when in doubt, call a flood damage cleanup professional.

SEOUL, April 17 (Xinhua) -- South Korean authorities are sending more aircraft and ships to the site of a shipwreck, which has left at least 20 dead and more than 270 missing based on latest tally.


Three large salvage ships are expected to arrive at the scene of the sunken ferry Sewol early Friday morning off Jindo Island Wholesale Miami Heat Jerseys , near the southwestern tip of South Korea, the West Sea Coast Guard told reporters at a briefing in Jindo on Thursday.


South Korean coast guard and navy authorities have dispatched a total of 29 aircraft and 171 vessels for rescue, it said.


Military and civilian divers tried to enter the ferry for dozens of times on Thursday but failed finally. The rising winds, waves and rains held back the rescue effort including the underwater operation.


The families of the ferry's passeners were allowed to embark on the rescue ships to visit the shipwreck site Wholesale Memphis Grizzlies Jerseys , and many of them burst ino tears as they saw the tip of the wreckage.


It took more than two hours for Xinhua reporters aboard a rescue ship to reach the site from the nearest port, but the ship had to refurn after a brief stay due to the harsh weather conditions over there.


A local rescue expert told Xinhua that the South Korean coast guard and navy are prepared for underwater mission, but at a depth of 45 meters with high winds and waves on the surface, the conditions are very dangerous for the divers to operate.


Many civilian divers are also joining the mission and their best hope is a quick imporvement in weather conditions Wholesale Los Angeles Lakers Jerseys , he added.


The passenger ship with 475 people aboard, mostly high school students, capsized in waters off South Korea's southwest coast Wednesday morning. Local broadcaster YTN's latest reports said that at least 20 people were dead and more than 270 others still missing.


It was reported that the ferry was believed to have veered off course as it departed some two and a half hours later than scheduled due to a heavy fog.


The coast guard said they are still analyzing the track of the ship's route supplied by marine company to determine whether Sewol is far off its intended route.


The 6,825-ton passenger ship made an abrupt turn at around 8:48 a.m. local time Wednesday Wholesale Los Angeles Clippers Jerseys , according to the automatic identification system (AIS) data offered by the South Korean Oceans and Fisheries Ministry.


Why the captain suddenly made the turn had yet to be known, but the change in direction was believed to have moved some 180 cars and trucks and more than 1,100 tons of shipping containers on the deck of the ship to one side, driving the ship to lean to the port side gradually.


The Sewol reportedly tilted first Wholesale Indiana Pacers Jerseys , rolled over on the port side and capsized before being totally submerged in the waters at around 11:30 a.m. local time Wednesday. It took around two and a half hours until the ship sank.


The passenger ship was originally believed that it may have run aground as some rescued passengers said they heard a thumping so.
