Hurricane Claim FAQs
What should I do immediately following the storm?
Do not return to your building until authorities advise that it is safe. Then, document your losses in detail with pictures of structural damage along with a list of items that have been broken or destroyed.
Can I start repairs right away?
You can make temporary repairs, such as boarding up broken windows and covering walls or roofs to prevent further damages. Make sure to keep receipts for supplies purchased to do so.
For more major repairs, how many estimates will I need to get?
Obtain detailed estimates from three reliable contractors that itemize the costs of necessary and permanent repairs.
How much time do I have to pursue a claim?
Normally, you have a two-year period, but it is best to pursue your claim immediately.
