If you did have any property damage because of Tropical Storm Hanna, Delaware’s insurance commissioner’s office has several tips for you.

Insurance Commissioner Matt Denn says one of the first thigns you should do is call your insurance company to let them know what’s going on. Then, take pictures or video of the damage and make whatever temporary repairs are necessary to keep the damage from getting worse.

In the coming days, make sure you save all you receipts and use good judgement when working with contractors.

Denn encourages anyone with any questions to call the Insurance Commissioner’s office at 1-800-292-8611. For more information on what to do if your home was damaged, visit the Insurance Commissioner’s website at www.delawareinsurance.gov.
