What steps did you take to secure your own living area? I've been through a few hurricanes and part of the recovery process is multiple deep cleans and constant inspection of your own living space, placing desiccate bags in every closet to soak up the residual moisture, replacing water damaged furniture, rugs...
The biggest problem with apartments or condos that experience severe water damage is building management or condo associations that don't want to take on the expense of bringing in experts to repeatedly inspect every apartment for this kind of mold growth. As a resident you and your neighbors, landlords... end up with a significant part of the burden of keeping your domiciles mold free.

When we first entered the apartment, pieces of the ceiling had fallen all over the space, probably nearly an inch of water on the ground. Was an absolute mess. As I said, I was told the apartment was repaired and cleaned and led to believe it was safe to move back in so no I didn’t dedicate the hours to cleaning the place myself. Would have been for naught regardless, as the landlord never brought fans and dehumidifiers in (supposed to be done within 24-48 hours) so allowed moisture to fester for weeks
