Dishwasher leak, solid wood floor - what to do?

Just got a call from my sister saying her dishwasher leaked (at the connection to the mains due to poor connection) and the water has gone right under her wooden floor across much of her kitchen.
It's a solid oak floor floated on a concrete floor and when she stands on the affected boards water seeps up between the cracks.

I'll be able to replace the connection to ensure it's watertight, but the immediate focus is on dealing with the leaked water. Should she rent a dehumidifier or just put on the heating and add in portable heaters to help dry it out? Or are these no-nos and is there something else that would work better to prevent warping? Thanks.
