compensation if your home or business gets
damaged by a storm. You need to document the loss
youve suffered as a result of the storm. Take
photos of the damage before anything has been
moved or removed, and document any extra costs
that you incur because of the damage. Your
homeowners insurance provider will instruct you
on the next steps to take in making a claim and
provide you with a claim number and a list of
local emergency service providers, like the
