Severe Weather Damage Scenarios
Big storms can be furious and frightening, and safety has to be your first priority. If your area has seen major problems, be careful. If you think your home has been structurally damaged or flooding risk remains, don't go inside. Spending a few nights at a friend's house or in an emergency shelter is a small price to pay.
After the storm, restoration and repair should be the next priority. Read about how various storm systems can cause unique damage.
Insurance Payouts
Severe damage from almost all storms is covered by property insurance, but the details change. What you must pay depends on your policy, the age and structure of the building, the extent of your damage, the value of surrounding property and much more.
Make a list of the damage, keep a folder of receipts and get on the phone with your insurer and a storm damage restoration contractor.
