Step 1: Make Sure Everyone Is Safe

The primary concern after a storm is to ensure the safety of everyone on the property. Look for any broken power lines or downed trees, and be sure to use caution when inspecting the storm damage. If you suspect a gas leak, don’t enter the area until the proper authorities have been contacted.

Step 2: Assess the Storm Damage

Once it’s safe to enter the area, carefully assess the storm damage done to your commercial building. Take photos of the storm damage, and make a list of any items that may have been damaged or destroyed. Look for any signs of water damage, as well as any structural damage to the property.

Step 3: Contact Your Insurance Company

Contact your insurance company as soon as possible and provide them with the details of the storm damage to your commercial building. Don’t make any repairs or throw away any damaged items until you’ve consulted your insurance provider.
