If you experienced damage due to a storm, remember to:
- Secure the area - such as looking for dangerous fallen power lines or gas leaks - stay away from these areas if you notice such damage and call your insurance agent.
- If the area is safe, take photos of the damage and then take steps to mitigate any further damage that could happen. For example, if there is a hole in your roof, take steps to cover the area with a tarp to prevent further damage to the inside of your home.
- Immediately file a claim with your insurance company. Keep all photos and receipts, these will be useful in processing your claim.
