Phase 1: Before the Storm Arrives - "Prevention is Better Than Cure"
This is the golden window for action. DeAir recommends that businesses implement the following checklist immediately:
Reinforce physical infrastructure: Secure corrugated iron roofs, reinforce windows and roller doors, check and clear drainage systems to prevent localized flooding.
Move and elevate assets: Prioritize moving important machinery, electronic equipment, and valuable goods (especially perishable items like food, pharmaceuticals, paper packaging, and wood products) to high shelves or safe areas.
Back up data & protect documents: Back up all critical business data (accounting, customer info, contracts) to the cloud or a remote server. Place original documents and contracts in waterproof bags and store them in a safe place.
Prepare an emergency plan: Have generators, fuel, flashlights, and a first-aid kit ready. Establish an emergency communication plan for all employees.
Phase 2: During the Storm - Safety First
When the storm is at its peak, the absolute priority is human safety.
Cut off all non-essential power: To prevent the risk of short circuits and electrical fires.
Ensure personnel safety: Make sure all employees are in a safe shelter. Absolutely do not go outside or attempt to repair or move assets while the storm is active.
Phase 3: After the Storm Passes - The Battle Against the "Silent Enemy," Humidity
The winds and rain have passed, but the damage is still ongoing. Receding floodwaters leave behind saturated humidity in the air and soaked deep into walls, floors, machinery, and goods. This is a "ticking time bomb" for mold and rust, which can cause even greater damage than the storm itself.
The Dangerous Consequences of Post-Storm Humidity
🔩
Corrosion & Rust on Machinery
Destroys precision mechanical parts, motors, and electronic circuit boards.
🍄
Explosive Mold Growth
Damages building structures and goods, and seriously affects health.
⚡
Risk of Electrical Fires
Residual moisture in electrical cabinets and outlets is extremely dangerous when power is restored.
📦
Total Damage to Goods
Paper, textiles, wood, and agricultural products will quickly be ruined if not thoroughly dried.
The Post-Storm Recovery Action Plan with DeAir
Acting quickly and correctly after the storm will minimize damage.
Step 1: Clean Up & Sanitize
Quickly remove mud, debris, and stagnant water to create a ventilated environment.
Step 2: "Emergency" Drying with Industrial Dehumidifiers
Using a DeAir.RE heat-pump dehumidifier for effective air dehumidification
This is the most critical step to prevent widespread damage. Using a high-capacity DeAir.RE industrial dehumidifier can rapidly "suck dry" the humidity from the air, walls, and floors, drying out machinery and goods and stopping the growth of mold and rust in its tracks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. After the water has receded and surfaces are wiped dry, why is a dehumidifier still necessary?
Wiping only handles surface moisture. Humidity has already soaked deep into walls, concrete floors, wooden pallets, and other porous materials. An industrial dehumidifier can continuously extract this invisible moisture from the air, creating a vapor pressure differential that "pulls" the moisture out from within materials until they are completely dry.
2. What should I consider to maximize the effectiveness of a rental dehumidifier?
For maximum effectiveness, you need to: (1) Calculate the correct machine capacity for the area and humidity level of your facility. (2) Seal the space (close doors and windows) while the machine is operating to prevent outside humid air from entering. (3) Use industrial fans to increase air circulation, helping the dehumidifier work more efficiently. The DeAir team will provide detailed advice on these matters.
