4 feet seems to be the common answer. I suggest learning how to take out the sheetrock in large sections instead of just pounding on it. Makes life a lot easier in the long run. take pics btw for ins.

if water is low may work at 3 feet. get as many fans as you can

Make sure you have cut power at your main breaker. Video and photos before anything else.

We cut the bottom sheet of drywall in Katrina. I guess roughly 4'. Took a skilsaw and straight edge. Had a large pry bar to peel up wood floors. Any nails that were left in the subfloor, we used hammers or the pry bar to pull them out. Pulled out the insulation and sprayed everything with a bleach solution. I have panel in my living room and I would think we need to pull that all down now.
