FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Life jackets in a flood?
Yes if you may shelter through rising water — moving floodwater is powerful and dirty, and a Type III PFD per person is the reserve flotation if you must move through it. Evacuate before you need one.
Document for insurance?
Yes — photograph and video everything (room by room, before you touch anything) for the claim. The documentation is the claim; without it you are relying on memory against an adjuster.
Post-flood cleanup PPE?
Yes — floodwater is contaminated (sewage, chemicals). N95, rubber boots, nitrile gloves, and eye protection for the cleanup; disinfect with bleach. Do not muck out bare-handed.
Dehumidifier?
Yes — mold starts within 24 to 48 hours of saturation. Industrial dehumidifiers (rent or buy) dry the structure fast; fans alone are not enough. Time is the enemy after a flood.

Flood evac/recovery and my family-evac kit share the document-everything brain — photo the damage before you touch it; the documentation IS the claim. PPE for floodwater, agreed.
