Before an incident, photograph important property and retain insurance contacts and essential document copies in a secure place accessible away from home. After an incident, record dates, damage and expenses only when safe. Keep original records; do not alter a photograph to make a claim appear stronger. Verify anyone claiming to be an insurer, contractor or agency through a known official contact before sending identity documents or payment. These are proposed recordkeeping safeguards, not a determination of insurance coverage or a filing deadline.
