Storms are unpredictable, and the damage they leave behind can cause you to feel stressed or overwhelmed. If a large storm has left storm damage on your property, be sure to follow this list of things to do to help you move forward restoring your property.
- Stay safe. It’s tempting to go outside and examine the extent of the storm damage on your own, but we strongly discourage you from doing so. Broken branches and uprooted bushes can pose a safety risk even if they look stable from a distance. Keep yourself safe by staying away from anything that’s been blown away, knocked out of place, or uprooted. If you’re worried about the stability of your home due to particularly extreme storm damage, it may be a good idea to stay somewhere else until the damage can be assessed.
- Call your insurance company. Depending on your insurance policy, you may be able to file a claim with your insurance company for help dealing with the repairs necessary to restore your property. To assist in the claims filing process, it’s a good idea to take a lot of pictures of the damage, but make sure you do so from a safe distance to avoid accidental injury.
