🌀🏠 THE STORM HAS PASSED… NOW WHAT?
When a hurricane moves out, the recovery process begins. Whether you’re on the coast or miles inland, knowing what to do next can help protect your family, your property, and your peace of mind. 💚
🌴 6 IMPORTANT STEPS TO TAKE AFTER A HURRICANE:
✅ 1. Safety First!
Stay away from downed power lines, standing floodwater, damaged structures, and fallen trees. Return home only when local officials say it’s safe.
📸 2. Document EVERYTHING!
Take photos and videos of damage to your home, roof, vehicles, and belongings before cleanup, whenever it’s safe to do so.
📋 3. Review Your Insurance Coverage
Wind damage, flooding, and vehicle damage may fall under different policies. Know your deductibles and what coverage you have.
📞 4. Report Damage Promptly
Contact your insurance company or your agent as soon as possible. Keep your claim number, receipts, and records of conversations.
🔨 5. Prevent Further Damage—Safely
If it’s safe, take reasonable temporary steps to prevent additional damage, such as covering a broken window or damaged roof. Save your receipts and avoid permanent repairs until you’ve documented the damage and coordinated with your insurer.
🚨 6. Watch Out for Storm Scams!
Be cautious of contractors demanding large upfront payments or pressuring you to sign paperwork. Verify licenses, insurance, and credentials before hiring anyone.
