After severe weather
Protect people first, then document what you can safely see.
Stay away from unstable roofs, fallen trees, electrical hazards, and structural movement.
Photograph visible conditions from a safe location before temporary work begins.
Move belongings away from active leaks when it is safe to do so.
Avoid climbing onto wet, steep, icy, punctured, or visibly damaged roofs.
Keep receipts for emergency tarping, tree removal, cleanup, and temporary protection.
Schedule a complete inspection because damage may extend beyond the obvious area.
