SBP’s Winter Storm Clean Up Safety Guidelines

Monitor for mold

• If you have had any water damage, mold can grow.
• Don’t repair walls or floors until mold has been treated!

Wear the proper PPE and utilize the correct process

• If you want to remediate the mold yourself, use SBP’s resources that include a step-by-step guide and a list of supplies and PPE. They can be found at sbpusa.org/start-here

Muck and Gut Safely

• Turn off all utilities – water, gas and electricity
• Wear PPE – goggles, gloves and dust masks
• Open windows to increase ventilation
• Take your time – accidents can happen when you move too quickly

Temporary Shelter

• If you have insurance, you may be eligible for funding to pay for a hotel or
  short-term rental. Ask your agent for more information. (Limit your exposure to mold.)
