Catastrophe Response Center

During widespread events we prioritize reporting, documentation, and carrier follow-up so you are not waiting alone.

During widespread events, carriers and inspection resources handle very high volumes. Reporting promptly and documenting damage helps, and response times may be longer than usual.

  • Report damage to your carrier even if you are still assessing the full extent.
  • Photograph roof, siding, and vehicle damage from a safe position on the ground.
  • Keep receipts for tarping, board-up, and other temporary repairs.
  • Be cautious with unsolicited repair offers and confirm contractor licensing.
Report a claim

Before an event

  • Store digital copies of policy declarations and your carrier's claims number.
  • Photograph each room and the exterior of the property before storm season.
  • Keep an inventory of higher-value items with receipts or appraisals.
  • Know where your water, gas, and electrical shutoffs are.

During and right after

  • Follow local emergency instructions before anything insurance related.
  • Do not return to a property until officials say it is safe.
  • Photograph damage from a safe position; do not climb onto a damaged roof.
  • Report the loss even if you cannot yet assess the full extent.
