        "text": "First, **protect the inside**: move belongings, catch the water in containers, and relieve ceiling water bubbles if safe. Then contact a roofer for an **emergency tarp or temporary repair** as soon as the weather allows.\n\nStopping interior damage quickly matters more than finding the perfect long-term solution in the moment. Once the storm passes, a proper inspection can identify the source and scope of permanent repairs or replacement.\n\nKey factors:\n- Safety: avoid standing water near electrical fixtures\n- Minimizing interior damage: buckets, towels, plastic sheeting\n- Documenting damage with photos for insurance\n- Arranging emergency tarping or patching\n\nTurn off electricity in affected areas if water is near lights or outlets, and punch a small hole in a bulging ceiling bubble to drain into a bucket before it collapses. After the storm, get a written repair plan and clarify with your roofer what’s temporary versus permanent."
