Contact representatives of all carriers insuring your home. Unlike fire and most other losses, hurricane damage to your home may be caused by different forces; these are, generally, wind and floodwater. The manner by which your home is damaged is important because different insurers insure different risks. However, you should never fail to call, for example, your windstorm insurer because it appears that only flood damaged your home. To be safe, put all potential insurers on notice, and confirm in a letter to them. Also, take reasonable steps to protect your property from further damage, and, if possible, have a contractor inspect your property and prepare an estimate on the scope and cost of repairs.
