What to do first

Check that everyone is safe. Stay well away from downed power lines and anything touching them, and report them to your power company.
Do not cut or move a large tree that is on the house or on wires yourself.
From the ground, take dated photos of the roof, siding, fence, garage door and any fallen trees.
If the roof or a window is open to the weather, cover it with a tarp or plywood only if you can do it safely.
Before you sign with a contractor: get a written estimate, check their license with your state, and do not pay the full price up front.
