POST SANDY

First, we hope everyone is safe in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.

In efforts to provide the best service to our agents and their clients we wanted to pass on some useful information:

• Homeowners / businesses should take photos or videos showing the extent of losses before cleaning up damage.
• Only necessary repairs to prevent further damage to property, like covering broken windows, should be done at this time.  Permanent repairs should not be made until after insurers have inspected losses.  Damaged personal property should be kept until after an insurance settlement has been reached.
• Homeowners and business owners should cooperate fully with their insurer.
• Keep a diary of all conversations with agents, adjusters, etc and include name, time, dates and details of each call.
• Please check if your area is required to boil water... it is the small things that can mean so much during these tough times. Gas is hard to find in the tri-state area, so only drive when necessary and car-pool when you can.

Most importantly, keep safe.  Objects can be replaced.

Red Cross and FEMA have set up stations throughout NJ and NY.
