We respond to storm damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Okaloosa County.

Our local team in Crestview, DeFuniak Springs, and Chipley responds to storm damage and flooding calls every year in DeFuniak Springs. In 2017, several tornadoes swept the South, causing floodwaters to ravage DeFuniak Springs, killing five people.

We have the training, equipment, and experience to extract water quickly and thoroughly dry areas compromised by water. Here are some tips from Federal Emergency Management Agency on things you can do to stay safe during a flood:

• If told to evacuate, evacuate immediately. Never drive around barricades. Local responders use them to safely direct traffic out of flooded areas.
• Contact your health provider if you are sick and need medical attention. Wait for further care instructions and shelter in place, if possible. Call 9-1-1 if you have a medical emergency.
• Listen to EAS, NOAA Weather Radio, or local alerting systems for current information and instructions regarding flooding
• Get to the highest level if trapped in a building. Do not climb into a closed attic space and only get on the roof if necessary and once there is a signal for help.
• Stay off bridges and out of fast-moving water. Turn Around. Don’t Drown!
• Say inside your car if it is trapped in rapidly moving water. Get on the roof if water is rising inside the vehicle.
