Call your insurance carrier, 800 # is fine. You will need the date of Camp Fire and let them know your status: Evacuated, property is inaccessible due to the condition of the damage to YOUR town. Until the authorities declare the area is stable & safe no one is able to assess the damage or condition of your home. Get your policy #, claim #, person of contact and if you need to get a cash advance, now is the time to request it. If you have not set up an online account, do so now. Write all info down including your password. This will enable you to look at your policy and keep track of any information from your carrier. READ your policy, over& over till you know what it means. You may have to google what a term or code is, do it! Become familiar with what you have been paying for!
You will have some major decisions to make in the very near future. Now is the time to seek the advice & guidance of your support system. You will have to make a choice of whether you want to rebuild or just get paid out for your loss. DO NOT take the adjusters 1st offer to cut you a check! You are vulnerable right now and they know that! Be patient! Evaluate what your options are.
Check on the status of your home. As soon as your area is accessible, you will want to assess the damage. Take pictures & save your photos for future, you may need to submit. It may take time time for your home to be evaluated. If your home is not accessible, check on social media sites, media, news & on line. Closure is important. The sooner you know the facts the sooner you can move forward.
