Insurance and disaster help
What to do after storm damage, in order.
- Stay safe. If someone is hurt or a line is down, call 911 or your power company first.
- Document damage. Use the document-damage checklist to take photos before anything is moved.
- Know coverage. Read what policies usually cover on rural land, then ask your agent.
- Disaster programs. Check FEMA and USDA programs if a disaster has been declared.
- Avoid storm chasers. Watch for the scam signs on the storm mode page.
