Call your local insurance agent and report your claim first. Take photos/videos of damage if possible. Then, if it's safe, secure the premises or hire a professional to make temporary repairs such as boarding up windows, tarping the roof, etc., to prevent further damage.  Communicate with your agent/claims adjuster for further instruction and plan to stay somewhere safe with a family member, friend, or hotel. Be sure to keep all receipts for temporary living space, gas, food, clothing, etc. Start preparing a home inventory of damaged personal property. Hold onto any damaged property until instructed otherwise by your claims adjuster.

Hold off on major repairs until they are approved by your claims adjuster. We recommend hiring repair reputable Virginia-licensed and certified home contractors. Don't let something too good to be true cost you. Scammers will go door to door in hard-hit areas and neighborhoods offering debris removal or roof tarping services & ask for cash upfront. More often than not, you've paid, and they do not return. Protect yourself by getting a written agreement & discuss payment options after services are complete.

This does not apply to a winter-named storm. Instead of the standard deductible on a related home claim, your responsibility would be the flat-named storm deductible or a percentage deductible of coverage A on your policy.
