Come Up with A Contingency Plan

Even before storms have the chance to hit, you should have a plan in mind for what to do when one does happen. This is especially true if you are located in an area that is prone to storms. Write down the contact number of a reliable storm damage restoration company, alongside having those of your insurance provider at hand. That way, when disaster strikes, you are prepared and ready to take action.

The one thing you want to do after storm damage occurs is to capture photographic evidence. Always do this before attempting to move anything. Then, get your claim in as soon as you can. Following a natural disaster, insurance companies and providers become inundated with requests, as anyone can well imagine. This means that the first ones to get their claim in will be the first ones to get paid, so never delay.
