When the storm is over, you should consider a few points to avoid endangering yourself and others.
If someone is injured, provide first aid and, if necessary, call the emergency services 112 or use the nora app.
If your dwelling is badly damaged, stay outside and do not re-enter until cleared by professionals.
If the roof is badly damaged, stay well away from the house. Call the fire department 112.
Caution! If heating oil or other dangerous substances have been released as a result of flooding, for example in the basement, call the fire brigade on 112.
Be careful when entering flooded basements, there is a risk of electric shock if the service box is located in the basement.
Only operate electrical devices if they have not become wet.
Before cleaning up, you should check and document exactly what has been damaged or destroyed, for example by water ingress or glass breakage.
Be careful when entering forests! Even after a storm there is a risk of being injured by falling loose branches or broken trees. Follow the instructions of authorities and, if in doubt, check with your municipality whether it is safe to enter.
