STORM/HURRICANE DAMAGE


Repair exposed areas immediately. If damage has been caused to the roof, arrange for a reputable roofer to visit at the earliest opportunity to secure and seal the damaged area. Carefully remove vulnerable artwork away from exposed area.

Make sure you have a suitable evacuation plan for artwork during hurricane season.

Contact your insurance provider as soon as possible. Take photographs of the damage, store broken items safely, and do not attempt to repair anything. Do not throw away anything before speaking your insurance provider, even if you think it is completely ruined. Have the following information on hand:
- Policy Number

- Details of what has happened and when.

- Which items are effected.

- Severity of the damage/loss.

- If items have been removed from home and where they are now.
