Document Flood and Fire Damage to Ease Insurance Claims

Taking photographs of damaged or destroyed property before it is discarded provides a record for use in making insurance claims.

It is best to have a full inventory with photographs on a commercial server outside the
area.  Keep images of the insurance documents with the inventory. After the fire or flood photograph the damage as found.  It is hard to make a claim on a pile of anonymous ashes and ruined computers.

How Staten Island’s Drug Problem Made It a Target for Poaching Patients

Addiction treatment centers in the borough, which has been hit hard by the opioid epidemic, say they are being offered kickbacks for patient referrals.
