Stay away from unstable areas
Do not approach downed power lines, loose exterior materials or damaged structures. Fire, electrical and life-safety conditions require the appropriate emergency service first.
Document from a safe location
Photograph visible roof material, windows, fencing, water entry and debris without climbing or entering unsafe areas.
Separate temporary protection from permanent repair
Board-up, weather protection or a temporary roof repair may reduce further damage. Permanent repair follows after the condition is safely reviewed.
