GEN: Pictures and Flooding

[Randi Hermans <rhermans@CHILL.ORG>]

Greetings,
We're living in a flood zone and waiting to see what's going to happen to
the Fraser River.  The snow pack hasn't started to melt yet and it's twice
the size it was in 1948 when it last flooded here.  A neighbor has started
to pack up pictures and is moving them to a relative's house on the
hillside.  If you've gone through a flood, can you please give me some
advice on what's best for the framed photographs and paintings.  We thought
moving everything  upstairs would be fine.  My neighbor feels that  water
in the house for however long would damage these things.  Should I start
packing??  School will be another story.  Hopefully we'll have enough
warning to save some things.
Any words of advice would be appreciated.
