The following actions can help limit the damage from an act of vandalism:

• Clean up eggs and other debris with water
• Remove physical debris like toilet paper and blot up stains on fabrics
• Sweep up broken glass or use a shop vacuum to remove it
• Record all the damage to your home with pictures and videos

Avoid these actions in the aftermath:

• Do not try to clean up chemical stains from paint, ink, or other substances
• Do not use electrical appliances until they have been inspected for safety
• Do not dispose of broken pieces that could be used in the repair
• Talk to a professional before attempting to clean carpeting, upholstery, and other fabrics
