Flood or Water Infiltration

A flood or water infiltration can occur at any time of the year and may be caused by a broken water pipe, sewer back-up or heavy rainfall. Water infiltration can damage electronic equipment, industrial machinery, critical documents or cause health concerns if chemicals or electrical equipment are present in the area.

STAY CALM

CALL Security Services by dialing 6666 internally or 204.786.6666 from an outside line.

In the event of a water leak / flood:

• Shutdown vulnerable equipment and protect critical documents.
• Do not attempt to shut off electricity if any water is present. Water and live electrical wires can be lethal.
• Move wet or vulnerable items to a dry and secure location if it is possible and safe to do so.
• Leave the area, if you consider your safety at risk.
• Exercise caution especially when using the stairs as the floor may be slippery.
• Advise Security Service or Facilities of all business-critical equipment or document that should be salvaged in priority.
