What You Should Do After a Storm
Try to prevent further damage. There likely is a clause in your insurance policy that requires you to take steps to protect your damaged property from further damage after a hurricane. For example, if your doors or windows are broken, you should cover open areas with tarps to prevent further water damage to the inside of your home. Otherwise, the insurance company many try to argue that the damage occurred after the storm, not during it.
Document everything. Documentation is essential to filing a successful hurricane insurance claim. Make a list of every part of your home or property that was damaged. Don’t forget to take pictures of your whole house and yard. Take pictures of all four sides of your home and as much of the roof as possible. These images will strengthen your claim.
File your claim on time. Most insurance policies limit the amount of time you have after a storm to file your claim. Your insurance company will look for any reason to deny your claim, so don’t drag your feet. It’s important to get started right away and gather the necessary documentation to support your claim.
