What we do after a Verandah storm

1. Close broken openings with metal panels.
2. Put an emergency tarp over roof damage until a roofer can make repairs.
3. Pull standing water out of the building.
4. Remove soaked drywall, insulation, and flooring that cannot be dried.
5. Record each source of water apart, because wind and flood are often different policies.

After the storm passes

• Stay out of flood water; it can hide live wires and debris.
• Turn off power to wet areas only if you can do it safely.
• Keep generators outside and far from the house.
