River roses up higher than the street, water came into the property and joining the pool/spa

We had a historic rainstorm in south Florida yesterday. We had 26 inches of rain within 24 hours, a historic record. I am next to a river, and the river water rose up higher and higher, higher than many people's docks, streets got flooded and there was a continuous body of water from the river to the streets into my property. My pool got flooded, my spa got flooded, my garage got flooded everything that is less than 20" off the floor got flooded.

Where do I start? Do I drain everything with a sump pump and get the pool and spa empty first?

I also left the pump running for hours before I went outside to turn it off so there may be debris and dirty water in the piping, pump and filter.
