Recovering after a disaster

After a disaster, it is important to know not only what to do, but who to turn to if you need assistance. Make sure everyone is safe, check for injuries and seek help if needed. Look for broken glass, sharp objects, and avoid downed power lines. Watch for washed out roads, contaminated buildings, gas leaks, contaminated water, damaged electrical, and slippery roads. Report your claim immediately if you have damages.
