Make sure everyone is safe
Stay away from downed lines and don't climb on the roof. Photograph visible damage from the ground.
Prevent further damage
If water is entering the home, take reasonable steps to limit it and keep receipts.
Review your policy
Check your deductible and any reporting deadlines. Your insurer decides coverage.
Be careful with storm chasers
Choose a contractor with a local presence, written estimates, and no pressure to sign on the spot.
