The thing that flooding brings to a community is the mixture of all the wrong things together to the breathing environment and the drinking water. The bacteria from sewage and the mold that starts to propagate makes the area affected quite contaminated. See this story from Hurricane Sandy http://alturl.com/aghnj
But what about the rest of us? What goes on in our environment? Look around you right now, see the dust on the table, the cobweb in the corner, the little black bug looking things by a closet. Look at your HVAC filter, see any dust? What is living on that dust right now? Is your home energy tight? Or does it "breathe?"
Do you know our pets put off 5 times the amount of dead skin cells that we do? Are they indoors? Can we clean it up? Does it cost much? How much is indoor health worth?
I think it's time to take a serious look at things affecting us indoors, and look for solutions. We also need to think in terms of how much is it saving us in health care to have a solution, instead of what does the solution cost.
