  • Apex Police non-emergency line: (919) 362-8661

► What to do if you have damage to your home?

  • If it is unsafe to be in your home, please leave immediately.
  • When it is safe, take photos to document the damage to your home.
  • Remove all valuable documents like birth certificates, social security cards, etc. to prevent them from being destroyed.
  • If you have home insurance:
    • Make only emergency repairs that prevent further damage and keep the receipts from these repairs
      • i.e. tarps on the roof, boarding up broken windows or removing a tree from your home
    • Do not clean up or make repairs beyond that until your insurance adjuster has come to see the damage.
    • File a claim with your insurance as soon as possible, because many companies work in a first-come, first-served manner.
    • Check with your insurance company about whether you have “loss of use” coverage (and what the monetary and time limits are) to cover the cost of emergency shelter.
