In a public service announcement Saturday, Chief Financial Officer and Fire Marshal Jimmy Patronis encouraged people to take photos and videos of the outside and inside of their homes before and after the storm.
“Tropical Storm Ian, in the next few days, will more than likely become a hurricane. What I want you to do is take your smartphone, go walk outside your house, and shoot a video of what it looks like today.
Then, go back inside your house and shoot that same video again,” Patronis said. “If you are affected by this storm, this will give you cut and dry example of what your house looks like before and after the storm if you have damage. You’ll have that to take to your insurance company in order to have a cut and dry claims process.”
