Set'em out on your front lawn to let them dry out. Put up sign. Do not touch.

Better now than later. Get pallets and set the goodies on that. I've done that.
 
Re: a flood

It is better to have it happen now than in the middle of the pandemic.

Know your weaknesses.
 
Re: a flood

Mr. Prep (thats me) of course put all the preps up on metal grates just in case the room flooded... so... none of the preps got wet.

Yea Goju.

Posted this just as a reminder to keep your prepes off the ground. And to share my daily grief.
 
Re: a flood

I know JUST how you feel! My boys were cleaning and refilling an aquarium that is up in the third floor...they filled it and went out, it leaked all the way down to the ground floor (wooden beams and floorboards). I have many big grocery sacks hanging from the beams, full of preps...all full of water...thank goodness that most of the things in them had already been Foodsavered.

Added to two broken toes and an unwise wisdom tooth...it was not a good day, to say the least.
 
Re: a flood

More headaches - My water started spurting out of the faucets. and turning brown! yikes.

Turns out $2000 later and i have a new well pump, check valve and piping.

If this happened during pandemic - i would have had to turn to my 2nd tier water preps - no where near as convenient or safe.

That is why you need multiple levels of prep for your water.
