Keeping a detailed notebook of the events following the storm can come in very handy down the road. Your notebook should act somewhat like your diary of the hurricane's aftermath.

In the notebook you should keep detailed notes of who you called after the hurricane to report damages. Be sure to include names of the people that you spoke to as well as the date and time when the conversations occurred. This information can be very useful in dealing with your hurricane insurance provider concerning your hurricane damage claim.

You should also use your notebook document when the hurricane insurance adjuster shows up, his/her name, and any contact information that you can get.

Having a detailed record of exactly what occurred and how it was handled by your insurance company can often help out tremendously in future conversations with your insurer concering your hurricane damage claim.
