Yes, any food, medicine or cosmetics that touched floodwater or sewage should be thrown out, even if the package looks sealed.

Usually not. Carpet and pad soaked with sewage are removed. Carpet wet from clean water can often be extracted, dried and cleaned.

Often, if the affected area is closed off. People with health problems, infants and older adults may want to stay elsewhere during sewage cleanup.
