Narrative:
EICAS message right IRS on dc; EICAS display; EICAS on panel; right FMC fail; lost right RMI; right ehsi map and vertical track (vtk) flags and lower EICAS display blank/top EICAS display in compact display mode. Used left flight director (FD) and left instrument source selector dials to regain no flag condition. No emergency or priority condition requested. Amended release to read (artr) received and copied. Burned off excess fuel enroute to [nearby airport] for landing under max landing weight. Most possible contributing factor was excessive water after rainfall in the aircraft entry way due to main entry door left open during rainfall approximate 45 minute prior to block out. Paper towels had to be put on floor to soak up water before flight. Captain and I did not think this factor until talking [the following] morning in van to [the] airport.
