Living in a flood-affected area can be a traumatic event, even if it is not prepared. Before the possible flooding in the EE. UU., The FDA presented this week a few tips on what to do after a flood to clean up, especially on what to do to cleanse.
The first step is in preparation. The FDA recommended household bleaching (why it became clear in a minute) and storing food, water and medicines on shelves that are safe for flooding. You also want to know where you can buy if dry ice is required and what to do in the event of a power outage. You also want a few days of ready-to-eat food that does not need to be cooked or refrigerated.
After a flood, try to drink only bottled water if you can. If you can not get bottled water, you can cook it for a minute to make it drinkable. If not boiling, states that "drinking water can be obtained by adding 1/8 teaspoon (or 8 drops) of house liquid bleach perfume (containing 5.25%) to 1 gallon of water. Stir well and let stand for 30 minutes before use. (If the water is cloudy, filter through clean cloths or let it settle, then remove clean water before adding bleach).
This bleach will also come into play during cleaning. The FDA recommends "thorough washing, rinsing and disinfecting (a household bleaching solution using unscented (concentration 5.25%) in 1 liter of water) All metal containers, utensils, cutlery (including openers included) and counters. "

You should also clean any canned products that have been exposed to high water. According to the FDA, "all-metal damaged canned food can not be used when the cans are cleaned, rinsed and disinfected in a solution that is 1 cup (8 oz / 250 ml) of household bleach unscented (concentration of 5, 25%) 5 solutions liters of water for 15 Minutes of labels should be removed before cleaning and cans labeled later. "
And use your best judgment. If something seems dangerous, do not take it.
