  1. Keep exits and pathways as clear as you safely can.
  2. Photograph rooms only where safe and respectful — no graphic detail needed on the form.

  4. If animals are involved, contact local animal services for guidance; cleanup crews can work after welfare issues are addressed.
  5. Contact your landlord, family contact or insurer if appropriate.
