Get windows open as soon as possible to speed up drying of floors and walls. Raising windows in a building that has been flooded may be difficult, since window frames and sashes will probably be watersoaked and swollen. Don't try to pry windows open. Panes or sashes will probably break if you try to force them.

To open Windows: 1. Remove side molding strips in front and inside sash. Molding strips or stops are usually nailed or screwed on, and can be easily removed.

2. Go outside the building and remove the sash by pushing one side gently toward the inside. Lift the sash inside.

3. Allow the sash to dry thoroughly before trying to fit it back into the window frame.
