Cowlitz County is preparing to have a web resource and call center available next week to report damages caused by the recent rain storm. If your property has suffered damage, the best thing you can do right now is to begin documenting what you can through photos and in writing. Be prepared to submit your information by keeping the following points in mind:
*Is your home inhabitable at this time?
*Do you own or rent?
*Your insurance information.
*"Best guess" dollar amount of damage (brief description with approximate dollar amounts)
*Pictures of damage will help to substantiate your claims.
Check this blog for further details, and stay tuned in to local broadcast and print media for additional information about damage assessment.
**Bear in mind that this is a preliminary assessment of damage for the entire county, not an official claim filing. It is only the first step in the claims review process, but it will help those in charge of dispensing resources do so appropriately and efficiently.
