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.
