Here are some things you should NOT do after experiencing Storm Damage:

Don't enter a damaged building or area without professional assessment:

Entering a damaged structure or area can be dangerous and may cause further damage. Wait until a professional has assessed the situation and deemed it safe to enter.

Don't try to fix electrical damage on your own:

If you suspect electrical damage, do not attempt to fix it yourself. Call a licensed electrician to handle any electrical repairs.

Don't turn on any electrical appliances:

If there is water damage in your home, avoid turning on any electrical appliances until a professional has checked them for damage.

Don't attempt to remove fallen trees or debris on your own:

Removing fallen trees or debris can be dangerous and may cause further damage. Wait until a professional has assessed the situation and has deemed it safe to remove.

Don't forget to document the damage:

Take pictures and videos of the damage to your property for insurance purposes.

Experiencing a storm in your home can be traumatic, but knowing what steps to take afterward can help you start the recovery process.
