Your rubber laundry hoses go too, look at an auto mains shutoff, and a
tray that goes under the tank you connect a hose to and run it to a
drain.

According to State Farm, failure of washing machine hoses is
one of the common causes of insurance claims.

Replace those rubber hoses with good quality steel braided
hoses -- inspect them regularly and replace at the first
sign of impending failure.

Consider drip pans, alarms, automatic shut-offs and more
depending upon the situation and how much damage is likely
to result from a failure and leak.
