Storms in the Seattle area can cause unexpected and costly damage—from fallen trees and broken windows to roof leaks and flooding. If your home has been hit, knowing what steps to take immediately can protect your safety, minimize further damage, and make the insurance process smoother.

1. Put Safety First

Before doing anything else, make sure your family is safe. Watch out for:

Downed power lines – Stay at least 30 feet away and call the utility company.
Structural instability – Avoid entering rooms with sagging ceilings or collapsed walls.
Floodwater – Do not walk through standing water, especially if you suspect it’s contaminated or electrified.

If the damage is severe or your home is no longer habitable, relocate to a safe place and notify emergency services or your utility provider if needed.

2. Document the Damage

If it’s safe to do so, take clear photos and videos of the damage before cleanup begins. Capture:

Roof leaks, fallen branches, or broken windows
Flooded floors, soaked drywall, or sagging ceilings
Exterior siding damage or water entering through cracks

These visuals will support your insurance claim and help restoration professionals create a precise recovery plan.
