If after an emergency or disaster is over, you discover you have damage to property, please report that information to the Department of Emergency Management so we may accurately document the impact upon the community as a whole. Links to reporting forms are listed below. Whether you have insurance or not, reporting the damage as soon as possible allows us to include your losses in the damage assessments provided to the State Emergency Management Office.
What does your insurance cover?
Contact your insurance agent to check policy coverage and file claims. Make sure you have a copy of your insurance policy in your emergency preparedness kit or in another secure location. A fire-proof box is recommended.
