After a storm is over and you find you have damage to your home, it can be hard to know what to do next. 

Setting some priorities will clarify and help you better manage the situation. Let's discuss what you should do first when a storm damages your Hermitage/Donelson home.

What Should My Top Priorities Be When Managing Storm Damage To My Property?

The top priorities after a disaster of any size are:

• Safety. If you have loved ones or pets in your home, you will automatically think of them first. After a storm has damaged your location, you should ensure you know where everyone is and that they are okay. If there have been injuries, take care of this issue first. If the damage to your property is extensive, remove everyone from the property for the time being. 
• Damages. Once you have established that everyone is safe and cared for, inspect your property to see what has been damaged. Be cautious when doing this; structural issues, fallen trees, broken glass, and such can be dangerous. All you need to do now is get an idea of what you're facing.
• Experts. You should contact a professional restoration company like SERVPRO next. Restoration professionals have the training and advanced technology to restore your property and personal belongings.
