In order to process claims, insurance companies will send surveyors and adjusters into the area to work with you and other policy holders. In locations designated as disaster areas, claim offices will be setup and staffed with teams of insurance personnel to expedite the processing of large numbers of claims. Locations of the claim offices should be available through the local media and civil defense offices. You will need to file a statement of loss explaining what, when, why, where and how it all took place. Your statement should include copies of your list of damages, photographs, and sketches, if necessary.
