Flooding can bring great uncertainty. In post-flood areas,
the saying "when it rains, it pours" has never been truer.
Not only are people affected by the damage from the water
itself, but also by the environmental after-effects. Issues
such as water contamination, release of dangerous
substances (such as propane from damaged storage tanks),
and increased risk of vector-borne illnesses are very
common problems.
MSA Safety Works hopes to reduce some uncertainty by
calling upon our nearly 100 years of safety experience to
help guide your safety product selection process. This
pamphlet is designed to assist you, the emergency
responder, clean up crew member, or homeowner, in
protecting yourself with proper safety equipment before
beginning flood clean-up work.
Most of these products are available at local hardware
stores or home improvement centers. If you need
assistance, use the MSA Safety Works’ dealer locator on
our website to find a retailer near you.
