One of our co-workers lost her home in the 2018 Woolsey Fire. Here is her check list of tips and details for how to work with insurance:

1. File a total loss report with insurance asap
2. File a report with Fema
3. Call Tax Assessor's office to report total loss of structure (they will issue a moratorium on property taxes immediately)
4. Lots of businesses offer a discount for fire victims (William Sonoma, Pottery Barn etc)
5. Have insurance issue a letter of total loss, you will need that to get discounts
6. Document Everything
   1. Take photos of the burned down structure
   2. Local government will also subsidize/cover costs for the demo of the debris
   3. Demo company has to be state certified because of the toxic debris
