Losses may be reported online at AAA.com or by calling 1-888-637-2287. In the event of a homeowner's loss: Report your claim as quickly as possible. Report downed power lines or gas leaks to the utility company. Never turn electricity on or off while standing in water. In case of a pipe break and water damage, turn off the water and immediately call a plumber. Make necessary and reasonable temporary repairs to protect the property from further damage. Make a list of all damaged or destroyed property. In case of theft, notify police. Save all receipts. QUESTIONS FOR YOUR INSURER Here are some questions that people frequently ask their insurance representative after a major loss due to disaster. You may want to have this list handy when you first contact your insurer to avoid multiple follow-up calls: What does my insurance policy cover? When can I expect to see my adjuster? How large is my deductible? Should I contact contractors to get repair or rebuilding estimates, or will the insurance company do that? If I cannot live in my home, will the insurance company pay for me to stay in a hotel or rent an apartment? What about meals, clothing and other personal items? How much may I spend? If I decided not to replace some items that were destroyed or lost, will my insurance still pay for them? Will my homeowners or auto policy pay for vehicles that were parked in my garage and damaged? Will my policy pay to replace trees and shrubs that were lost as a result of the disaster? How long will it take to process my claim?
