Limit Non-Essential Travel: Remain off local municipal roadways during peak warning hours to let emergency response teams pass.

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.
