When cleaning up a flooded area, it’s essential to wear appropriate clothing and gear to protect yourself from contamination and injuries. Here’s what you should consider:
- Waterproof boots: Protect your feet from contaminated water and debris.
- Rubber gloves: Shield your hands from sharp objects and chemicals.
- Tyvek suit or coveralls: Create a barrier between you and potentially hazardous substances.
- Respirator or dust mask: Protect your lungs from mold spores and other airborne contaminants.
- Safety goggles: Prevent eye injuries from flying debris or splashes.
