Insurance Commissioner Shares Tips for Wisconsinites Impacted by Storm Damage

Severe storms recently swept through Wisconsin, leaving behind significant damage to homes, farms, and businesses. In response, Insurance Commissioner Nathan Houdek is offering guidance to help residents navigate the recovery process.

OCI recommends that consumers consider the following tips as they evaluate any storm damage:

• Make a list of damaged items, including cracks in walls, damage to siding or shingles, spoiled food due to a long-term power outage, etc.
• Take photographs of the damages before you begin to clean up.
• Don't throw out any damaged property without the claim adjuster's agreement.
• Keep all receipts that document the cost of the repairs or the replacement of damaged items.
