Over the past week, wildfires have consumed nearly 2,000 square miles of the Panhandle.

Texans affected by the wildfires can visit tfsweb.tamu.edu for safety information and *tdem.texas.gov to report wildfire damages.

*Note: Reporting damages through the TDEM is a voluntary activity and is not a substitute for reporting damage to your insurance agency. It does not guarantee disaster assistance.

When a disaster strikes, you will at first be overwhelmed with concern about the welfare of your family, the future of your business, and the seemingly mounting debt. However, the devastation caused by a disaster will raise a number of insurance coverage issues that you will need to address.
