- 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.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
ACS figures put 35% of local units before 1960. A technician checks the actual floor and wall layers instead of assuming their age. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Sheyenne was built in the 1960s. Basement paneling from this era may conceal wet framing. The crew evaluates what must be opened for drying.
Snowmelt over frozen ground can reach a Sheyenne basement. Outside water indoors calls for Category 3 handling.
