TDI disaster relief volunteers have attended homeowner and business owner meetings and will join other state and federal agencies offering assistance in a Disaster Recovery Center opening tomorrow morning in DeKalb. TDI volunteers say one drawback for some policyholders is that they may have been underinsured. The Texas Department of Insurance suggests that consumers annually check the limits of their homeowners or renters coverage, including content coverage. Limits may be too low if replacement costs have risen. Homeowners should be patient when filing a claim.
Insurance companies bring in additional adjusters after natural disasters.
Policyholders with the most significant damage will be targeted first.
