Lurking in the water is sewage, debris and mosquitoes: flood waters increase health risk for flooding victims and rescue teams.

Flood water – The initial damage caused by a flood is not the only risk. Standing flood waters can also spread infectious diseases, bring chemical hazards, and cause injuries.When you start the clean up after flooding, you need to take precautions. Remember that you are working in a highly contaminated environment; you will need to increase personal hygiene to keep from becoming ill or risking a serious infection.

Mosquito populations usually increase greatly after flooding. Most of these mosquitoes are considered nuisance mosquitoes and will not spread viruses. However, some types of mosquitoes could spread viruses like Zika, dengue, or West Nile. (Source: CDC)
