Water emergency right now? Do these first:

Stay safe. If water is near outlets or your panel, don't wade in — shut off electricity only if you can reach the panel safely. Suspect gas? Leave and call your utility / 911.
Stop the water. Close the main shut-off valve (usually where the water line enters the house).
Call a 24/7 restoration company. The first 24–48 hours decide whether you get drying or demolition — mold starts fast.
Document everything. Photos and video of damage and standing water before any cleanup, for your insurance claim.
Call your insurer and ask about coverage and emergency mitigation — most policies require you to prevent further damage.
