Here's a checklist of things you should do in the event of a disaster :

• Contact your insurance company—this will initiate your claim so they can assign an adjuster
• Contact SOS Restoration. We will have an estimator meet with you to assess your property damages. We will work closely with you and your insurance company to repair the structure, perform an inventory pack-out and have your property restored
• Take an inventory or your personal property
• Secure any valuables, medications, important documents, checkbooks, money…
• Remain on the property until it has been properly secured, boarded-up or fenced
• Notify your post office, utility companies, and creditors

• Your insurance agent—for any insurance policies or documents
• The MVD—to obtain a new drivers license and copies of your automobile registration/title
• The Social Security office—for your lost Social Security and Medicare cards
