Know how to dispose of garbage & recycle
Check your city, village or town for schedules. Some have websites or other social media postings, while others still rely on posting at the collection sites or newspapers. Some services do direct mailing via USPS or email.

When you have damage...
TAKE PICTURES of the initial damage. Take more pictures after cleaning up. Take final pictures when you are done.
If you have pictures before damage, these can help establish the value of items or your home.
Pictures of your most valued or most used items are quick ways to have "inventory" of your household or personal business.
