$35.00
Skip to product information
Original March 1986 FEMA FIA-13 publication, Flood Emergency and Residential Repair Handbook. This vintage government manual captures how American families, contractors, and local officials were instructed to prepare for floods and restore damaged homes during the mid-1980s.
The handbook follows the full disaster timeline—from recognizing flood hazards and preparing essential supplies to safely entering a damaged home, cleaning the structure, and documenting losses. Its period-specific guidance offers a compelling glimpse into household life and emergency planning before cellphones, digital records, and modern restoration equipment.
Topics include flood warnings, flash floods, water pressure, buoyancy, scouring, emergency utilities, basement flooding, structural inspection, drinking water, masonry, windows, floors, walls, electrical and plumbing systems, appliances, furniture, clothing, books, firearms, typewriters, sewing machines, televisions, radios, and insurance documentation.
An interesting piece of FEMA and American disaster-response history for emergency-management collectors, homeowners, contractors, preservationists, insurance researchers, and collectors of vintage government publications.
Softcover shows age toning, scuffing, light soiling, edge and corner wear, and reinforcement with a small stapled label near the lower spine. Interior pages appear generally clean and readable. Please review the photographs for exact condition.
