   Cabinet toe kicks may need access so trapped moisture can escape.

   The crew records progress until affected materials meet the drying plan.

• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
