   The assessor marks water levels and affected finishes while documenting Category 3 contact.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   An extraction team removes pooled floodwater so damp layers can be assessed more accurately.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Sediment trapped under a finish may require access before the structure can dry.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.
