With five months to go, 2011 is already one of the worst years ever in terms of weather disasters, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The flooding suffered by homeowners in many parts of the country can leave behind an unwanted houseguest: mold.
“The mold that may occur after water has receded can be far more hazardous to the homeowner and family,” according to the American Industrial Hygiene Association® (AIHA), which is offering information to homeowners who face flooding issues as a result of extreme weather conditions.
