How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Blythe

- Stay out of standing water near outlets, wiring or appliances.
- Follow local reentry instructions if the neighborhood has flooded.
- Photograph the visible water line and affected belongings from a safe place.
- Keep children and pets away from wet rooms and contaminated items.
- Call (888) 450-9281 so extraction can begin when access is safe.
