Make a claim with your insurer
Contact your insurer to make a claim if your home is damaged by a natural hazard event. Most insurers work on our behalf to assess and manage your claim from start to finish. They will be your single point of contact during the claims process and can answer any questions you have. You can usually make a claim with your insurer online or over the phone.
