·If you absolutely must handle contaminated materials, please wear rubber gloves.
·If possible, I would suggest you and your family make plans to stay with a friend or at a local hotel until after clean up and decontamination.

on parle de dégâts des eaux en général puis de ce cas plus précis, je n'arrive pas à choisir le terme le mieux approprié : remontées d'égout ? refoulement d'eaux usées ? merci !
