Renovations and Asbestos

Many homes, particularly older homes, may contain asbestos, a known carcinogen. Asbestos that has been disturbed may pose a health hazard to homeowners, contractors or volunteers aiding with disaster recovery. Learn to recognize potential problems and stay safe.

When returning to a home that has been flooded, be aware that mold may be present and may be a health risk for your family. Find out how to identify the health effects of mold and how to stay safe.
