First things
Before anyone cleans
If police or the medical examiner are involved, wait until they have released the home. The officer in charge can tell you when that is. In Tulsa, the police non-emergency line is 918-596-9222.
Close the door to the affected room, turn off fans that blow air through the house, and keep children and pets away. Do not throw anything out yet: an insurer or the victim compensation program may want to know what was damaged.
Household cleaners and a mop are not enough for blood or other body fluids. Bio hazard cleanup companies use protective suits, respirators and sealed containers, and they take the waste away for proper disposal.
The call
How it works
You call
The line connects you with an independent cleanup company that serves your ZIP code.
You describe it
Say what happened and which rooms are affected. You do not need the right words.
They look and price it
Most companies want to see the space, in person or by photos, before they set a price.
You decide
Ask about insurance paperwork, timing and what will be removed. Nothing is agreed until you say so.
Oklahoma
Who is involved after a death or crime

The medical examiner
The state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner investigates violent, unexpected and unattended deaths. Its Eastern Office is at 1627 Southwest Blvd., Tulsa, OK 74107. Source.
Victim compensation
The District Attorneys Council's program can help with crime scene cleanup after a reported crime, after insurance. Source.
Your insurer
Some home and renter policies respond to sudden events. Your agent can tell you what yours says.
The cleanup company
Removes contaminated material, cleans and disinfects, and handles the waste.
You
You choose the company, approve the work and keep the paperwork.
Paying for it
Insurance, compensation and estates
Who pays depends on what happened and where. A homeowner's or renter's policy may help after a sudden event; the Oklahoma victim compensation program can help after a crime; a landlord often arranges cleanup in a rental; and an estate may pay when the person who died owned the home.
Nothing here is a promise of coverage. Ask your insurer before work begins, and ask the cleanup company for an itemized invoice and photos for your records. Read the full guide.

Common questions
Is this a cleanup company?
No. This is a referral line. Your call goes to an independent biohazard cleanup company that serves your ZIP code. That company gives you a price and does the work if you hire it.
Can someone come at night or on a weekend?
Calls are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When a company can start depends on the company and on whether police have released the home. Ask on the call.
Does the medical examiner or the police clean up?
No. The medical examiner's office takes the person into its care and police collect evidence. Cleaning the home is left to the owner or the person responsible for the property, who usually hires a company.
