Disaster recovery resources​

Helping you stay safe and protected is at the core of what we do. Frost Insurance risk advisors are well-versed in the challenges and vulnerabilities associated with harsh weather and their impact on the safety of our clients and their assets.​

If you’ve experienced damage to your personal or business property and need to file a claim, we recommend reaching out to your carrier directly to expedite the process, but as always, Frost Insurance is available to assist you whenever you may need us.​

Check your app store to see if your carrier offers a mobile app and download it so you can file a claim directly.​

  • Make temporary repairs, if reasonable and necessary, to protect the property from further damage
  • Maintain a record of all expenses incurred
  • Separate damaged from undamaged personal property

2. Take photos of damage (if possible)

3. Prepare an inventory of damaged property

  • List quantity, description and value
  • Attach bills, receipts, estimates and related documents

4. Retain damaged property until a claims adjuster approves its disposal (unless a danger to safety exists)

  • The adjuster may need to inspect the property.
  • The insurance company may be able to salvage the damaged property

5. Notify police in the case of theft

6. A claims adjuster should reach out to you within two business days (if you have not been contacted within that time frame, please call Frost Insurance)

  • If the damage significantly affects your continuing operations, we will request that the insurance carrier expedite your claim
  • Please let us know immediately if your circumstances change and this loss will have a greater impact on your business than originally anticipated.

7. Be prepared to provide additional information as requested by the claims adjuster

8. Consider or plan for alternative arrangements in the event your premises has damage that does not permit you to remain there
