Remove standing water: Use a pump or wet/dry vacuum to remove as much water as possible.
Ventilate the area: Open windows and doors to allow moisture to escape.

Cleanup

Dry the structure: Use fans, dehumidifiers, and air movers to dry the building. This may take several days.
Remove damaged materials: Remove drywall, flooring, and other materials that have been damaged beyond repair.
Clean and disinfect: Thoroughly clean and disinfect the affected area to prevent mold and bacteria growth.
Repair the source of the leak: Fix the plumbing, roof, or other source that caused the water damage.

Installing flood sensors and alarms.
Educating occupants on water damage prevention.
