The American Property Casualty Insurance Association (APCIA) offers the follow tips for navigating the process of getting back home after a wildfire:
- Contact your insurer to get the claims process started. While evacuated, contact your insurer. You do not need to wait until you return home before doing so. Insurers can be contacted via their toll-free number, app or website.
- Discuss coverage for temporary housing with your insurer. Your insurance can help you move out of shelters and obtain housing while you rebuild. Keep your hotel and meal receipts.
- Work with an adjuster. Adjusters will walk you through the claims process, answer questions, estimate damage, and settle your claim.
