Move to Higher Ground: Immediately evacuate low-lying areas, valleys, and canyons prone to sudden rushing water.
-
Avoid Flooded Roads: Never attempt to walk, swim, or drive through flooded roadways—turn around, don’t drown.
-
Monitor Rushing Channels: Stay alert to nearby streams, creeks, or drainage infrastructure that can overflow without warning.
Post-Storm Insurance Preparation
-
Document structural damage: Take immediate photos of any visible effects of the storm, no matter how small or minute the damage may seem. Clear photographic evidence anchors your eventual claim recovery.
-
Mitigate safely: Policyholders generally have a responsibility to mitigate further damage. Handle emergency temporary fixes (like shutting off a main valve or tarping a broken window) if safe to do so. Do not attempt permanent structural repairs until an official inspection occurs.
-
Log milestones: Keep a running timeline of the incident, damage discovery dates, and interactions with your insurance company to keep the claim organized.
