2. Disconnect battery terminals, starting with the negative terminal.
3. Take immediate steps to dry the vehicle as much as possible to reduce the time its components are exposed to water.

5. Contact your car dealer to arrange for inspection of the flooded vehicle.
6. Also, contact your insurance company and promptly report the exposure of your vehicle to water and flood. Make sure that when you contact them, all necessary information shall be ready such as name, address, car make, plate number and whether the policy covers “acts of God”.
