   A Category 3 loss in Elk calls for separation of dirty and clean spaces. The crew plans how to bring equipment in without tracking sewage.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   Porous belongings touched by Elk sewage are separated for assessment. Contaminated construction is taken out where cleaning is inadequate.

4. Dry and record retained structure

   The Elk technician compares wet areas with suitable dry references. Slow spots may need more access or adjusted equipment.
