The attached Tornado and Thunderstorm materials address severe weather both before and during the storm, but what about after?
The attached Severe Weather Toolkit from the Ohio Department of Insurance gives a good overview of what to do after the storm.
Along with the information in the toolkit, here is some specific guidance:
* Promptly submit a claim as soon as possible after the event, same day if possible
* Do not dispose of damaged equipment/machinery
* Keep all lightning/surge damaged equipment
* Also keep all non-lighting damage items/equipment (e.g., tree limb falling, hail damage, wind, etc.)
