Before the crew arrives in Pacific Palisades
Shut off the water first if a pipe or appliance is the source, using the fixture valve or the main where the line enters the home. If rain or runoff from a slope is coming in instead, block it with towels and photograph where it enters. That matters in Pacific Palisades, because FEMA records show 1.4 flood claims per 1,000 homes here from 2016 to 2025, against 0.2 across Los Angeles County, and outside water is insured differently. Turn off breakers for wet rooms from a dry spot. Photograph the water line and damaged items before moving them. Lift furniture, move rugs and papers to a dry room, and tell the landlord or the unit below if you share a building. Then call for help. The phone is answered 24/7, holidays included.
