If the flood was with fresh water and the electricity was cut off before it got "soaked", then the chances are that it only need to dry up before you try to turn it on.
Even a saltwater flood does not always make a lot of damage, but it will need to be thoroughly rinsed with fresh water and allow to completely dry before turning it on.
It is a good idea to have somebody with electrical knowledge to look at it before using it.
Switching on power when it is still wet or dirty in the machinery can (and in most cases will) cause irreparable damage to the motor and circuitry controlling the motor.
