• Do not allow children to play in areas contaminated by sewage overflows 
• Do not eat or drink anything exposed to sewer water
• Keep contaminated objects, water, and hands away from your mouth, eyes, and nose
• Wash hands frequently, especially after bathroom use, before eating and immediately following contact with sewer water or contaminated objects or surfaces

Take the following precautions to prevent injury:

• Turn off main power switches if necessary. Air out and wipe dry all appliances and electrical outlets exposed to water before use. 
• If you have fuel oil or gas systems, be sure tanks are secure and all lines are free from breaks 
• Wear rubber boots, gloves, and an N95 or HEPA respirator mask during removal and cleanup
• Open windows if possible to ventilate and dry the area. Fans can be used to help with drying.
