Flooding and Water Damage

If flooding or water damage occurs:
Physical Plant at 6-3210 or after hours 858-3567 immediately. Report the exact location and severity of the leak.

If there are electrical appliances or outlets near the leak, use extreme caution. If there is any possible danger, evacuate the area.

If you know the source of the water and are confident of your ability to stop it (i.e., unclog the drain, turn off the water, etc.), do so.

Be prepared to assist as directed in protecting objects that are in jeopardy. Take only essential steps to avoid or reduce immediate water damage, such as covering objects.
