First Steps for Families After a Traumatic Incident

What families can do before professional cleanup begins without exposing themselves to unnecessary risk.

Practical guidance

  • Keep children, pets and unauthorized people away from the affected area.
  • Do not handle blood, bodily fluids or sharps without appropriate protection.
  • Wait for scene release, then contact a qualified cleanup provider.

Professional boundary

SDM provides property cleanup and documentation support. We defer to law enforcement, medical examiners, physicians, attorneys, code officials and other regulated professionals when their authority controls the situation.
