Tornado
Safety first. A complete recovery record.

Tornado losses can involve structural damage, debris impacts, and loss of use. Safe access and a complete property inventory come first.

Understand your claim

Account for the property beyond the main building.

Tornado losses can extend across a home, outbuildings, fencing and personal property. Once safe access is permitted, organize the site by area so scattered or displaced items are not lost in a single broad estimate.

What should you document?

01

Emergency access instructions and structural assessments

02

Damage across the building, outbuildings, and belongings

03

Temporary protection, housing, and other documented expenses

Protect people first and follow emergency instructions. Coverage, exclusions, deductibles, duties, and deadlines depend on the policy and applicable rules. A loss does not automatically establish coverage.

How UCAG helps

The policy. The damage. The documentation.

UCAG reviews the available policy and claim records, documents the reported loss, and helps policyholders understand disputed scope and payment questions. A review can address a new, denied, underpaid, delayed, or closed claim.

Preparedness & prevention

Decide where to shelter before you need to.

Fast access to a safer place matters more than last-minute property protection.

01

Pick the safest available space

Identify a storm shelter or basement; otherwise plan for a small interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows.

02

Receive warnings reliably

Enable local emergency alerts and keep a weather radio or another warning source available, including overnight.

03

Practice the route

Make sure everyone knows where to go. Plan help for children, pets and anyone who needs assistance.

04

Plan beyond a mobile home

Identify a substantial shelter you can reach before severe weather arrives. A mobile home is not a safe tornado shelter.

When a tornado warning applies to your location, shelter immediately. Do not spend that time opening windows or moving belongings.

Straightforward answers

Common questions.

Should I enter to retrieve documents?

Do not enter an unsafe structure for claim paperwork. Follow official access instructions and seek alternative copies of records.

What if belongings are scattered or missing?

Record what you can establish using earlier photos, receipts and inventories. Distinguish confirmed damage from items that have not yet been located.

Does a tornado rating decide my settlement?

A storm rating does not replace a property-specific inspection or the policy terms. The actual loss and supporting evidence still need to be documented.
