Q. Do I need to protect my home from further damage?

 

Yes, it is your responsibility to protect your property from further damage. Once it is safe to do so:

  • Arrange for reasonable temporary repairs such as boarding up broken windows, covering the roof, and removing debris.

  • Keep a list of any temporary repairs you make to document the damage, and make sure to save  your receipts.

  • If possible, place damaged items in a secure area where they can be inspected. If you are unsure about an item, include it with the damaged property.

  • If you have fire or smoke damage, do not try to clean the damaged items, as cleaning without the proper equipment can cause more damage.
