BBYC opens doors to curious public

Keep children and animals away from previously flooded areas until they have been cleaned and made safe.

Take photos and videos of the damage and anything that needs to be thrown away before starting the clean-up, for insurance purposes.

Throw away all food and drinking water that has come in contact with floodwater, including things stored in containers.

Do not eat garden produce if the soil has been flooded. Clean up and remove debris and sprinkle gardens with lime.
