Natural disasters like tornadoes, floods, fires, severe hail and snow storms can bring out the best in people. Unfortunately, crises also brings out people who choose to take advantage of the survivors. Do not rush to make repairs or settle insurance claims right away. Legitimate local organizations, state government agencies and insurance companies, coordinated by Voluntary Organizations Active In Disaster (VOAD), will be there to provide assistance.
When looking for contractors to make damage repairs, working with insurance adjusters, seeking aid from charities or making charitable donations to help the survivors, Better Business Bureau® recommends that homeowners, businesses and donors start their search with BBB® and Start With Trust®.
BBB is a Nebraska VOAD partner.
