Homeowners are urged to check insurance coverage after Storm Eowyn’s devastation
This left many homes flooded and damaged. The Galway Atlantaquaria was completely surrounded by seawater. Staff reported that the flooding was among the worst they’ve seen.
Insurance coverage can differ, so it’s important to know what your policy covers. If your home wasn’t well maintained, your claim might be denied.
Before the storm, homeowners were advised to clear gutters and check smoke detectors. They were also told to secure outdoor items that could be blown away.
If you experience damage, contact your insurance company right away. Take photos and videos of the damage before making repairs. Keep receipts for any urgent repairs for reimbursement later.
Most household insurance policies cover storm damage. If your home is severely damaged, your insurer may help with temporary accommodation.
