Boris,
The albums themselves shouldn't be a problem; people routinely wash vinyl
albums in dish detergent and water just don't leave soaking or the labels
may come off. The sleeves and jackets are another matter. They are made of
paperboard which doesn't take well to water. You could try propping them
open slightly and exposing them to warm, dry air flow. Once dried it should
remove the risk of mildew but they may warp or in the worst case fall apart.
Sorry for your difficulties; floods really suck.
