We get this question a lot.
It's very important that you try to safeguard your home from further damage.
Depending on the type of damage, you may be able to safely do this yourself or you may need to hire someone - especially if you need to get a tarp on the roof if you're dealing with
utilities or damaged and unstable structures.
You'll also want to contact your
insurance agent or your insurer directly to let them know what’s going on, and
to get any necessary instructions from them. They can also tell you how your
coverage will apply. Most importantly, stay safe!
