Insurance industry research shows that stout roofs, strong windows, and metal connectors can help protect houses from high wind, hail, and hurricanes.

Well, the first thing to do (a little late now) is to wash them thoroughly with clean water before they dry out. Next, shake/drain out as much water as possible. Then disassemble and dry the internals, relube the gears and bearings, etc.
Most modern (< 40 years old) electrical tools will survive submersion, so long as they aren't too badly soaked (24 hours is a bit long) and so long as they're cleaned up quickly. It's wise to use an ohmeter (or better, a "megger") to check them for insulation breakdown, though (after drying for at least a week), and be especially suspicious of any that lack a 3-prong cord.
Insurance ?
No insurance, it has been 37 years inbetween floods in Laguna Canyon. So even tho I have lost small tools and my portable table saw,none of my large machines where damaged. If I had insurance all those years it would have been more than the replacement cost of the tools I guess. I hope it dose not flood again.
I'm going to guess that no real damage has been done to the tools. Try them out.
I bought some tools that were in the New Orleans flood and they worked well. The motor of one drill had a burnt smell when I used it, but it worked just fine. The seller might have opened the tools and dried them out, but I'm sure they got plenty soaked for a good long while.
