Photograph the house and water levels clearly, showing the condition of the house and the floodwater level.
Photograph damaged property, including furniture, vehicles, and electrical appliances inside the house.
Record the date, time, and location clearly to specify when and where the incident occurred.
Prepare important documents in advance to expedite the process.
Copy of your national identification card.
