It’s critical you know what to do if -- or when -- water damage strikes. We’ll provide you with three tips. 

Tips: 

1. Shut off the water source, if possible, or contact a qualified professional to stop the water source.
2. Turn off circuit breakers for wet areas of the building when access to the power distribution panel is safe from electrical shock.
3. Do not enter affected areas if electrical outlets, switches, circuit breakers, or electrical equipment are exposed to water. Always avoid electrical shock hazards.
