QLAF Small Business Flood & Cyclone Legal Help

Usually the first thing you need to do when recovering from a disaster is notify an insurer of a claim under any relevant insurance policies. It is important to: make sure you have a copy of your policy and read it carefully to check if you are covered - notify your insurer as soon as you can - remember to take photographs and/or digital video and keep other documentary evidence of the nature and extent of the damage to support your claim, especially for damaged stock that may need to be disposed of - take any steps required in the policy wording, including protecting property from damage or removing articles that pose a health hazard.
