House Fire Recovery Steps

9/10/2021 (Permalink)

Find a Place to Stay

Once you know what resources your insurance company will provide, find a place to rent, or move in with relatives while your home is being repaired. Contact your children's school and, if possible, make arrangements for them to continue in the same classes even if you must temporarily move out of the school district. Most districts will make allowances for emergencies such as a fire. Keep receipts for everything you spend in conjunction with your fire recovery. Your insurance company may reimburse you for some of the expenses, and you may be able to deduct others from your income tax.

Take Inventory

Your insurance company will want an inventory of everything that was lost or damaged during the fire. Your agent can provide you with an inventory sheet. Review any inventory you made prior to the fire and make additions to it. If you need to reconstruct a list of your belongings from memory, review photographs and video to refresh your memory, and ask friends or relatives who have been in your home to help you compile your list. Review old credit card statements and bank records to determine what you paid for your belongings.
