From an e-mail I received:

"I am a New Orleans resident. Following hurricane Katrine, the levee near my home broke. My home (built in 1987)is a two-story, wood frame, vinyl siding. The flood water stood in my home at a depth of about six feet for about ten days. It covered all of the switches and outlets on the first
floor, and the circuit breaker box.

I'm sure that the switches and outlets will have to be replaced, as well as the circuit breaker box. Will the wiring be OK?"

Any thoughts?

I referred him to a previous post which had the link to NEMA's paper.
