If you find your home or business in the path of any of the multitude of wildfires currently wreaking havoc across the US, we at sorted. contents inventory services are praying that you and your families are safe. This dry summer is turning forests and neighborhoods alike into kindling.

Fires can't be prevented once the wind blows flames your way, but if the worst should happen, there are things you can do to manage your wildfire insurance claim for home or business more effectively.

First, have a current copy of your homeowners policy. If a hard copy isn't possible, have your agent email it to you and begin to thoroughly review and refresh yourself of it's limits and payouts. You'll need to notify your carrier and your mortgage holder of the loss.

What's the ALE (additional living expenses)? Depending on the extent of the loss, you may need to make this portion of your policy last for years. Choose temporary housing wisely to make the most of this and limit your out of pocket exposure.
