• Take photos and make a list of any damage and damaged property – including individual items if you can. Do not dispose of any damaged items as your insurer and assessor may need to view these.

Tips to help us process your claim faster

• Provide copies of receipts or manuals for damaged items, especially if they are unrecognisable in the photos.
  
  
• Provide as many details as you can about the damaged items. For example the make, model, where it was purchased, date you purchased it and the serial number if you can.
  
  
• Get written quotes to replace or repair your damaged items.

Here are some safety guidelines to help you get through this difficult time.
