Recovery - where to start

Act safely to prevent any more damage to your building.
Try to make the buildings safe and weatherproof.
Take pictures of the damage (building and contents) for insurance claims.
Keep all damaged items for inspection.
Get essential services repaired e.g. water, electricity, gas, sewerage - keep copies of your bills.
Make a list of any perishables you have to dispose of.
Don't start non-essential repairs without the insurance company's approval.
