Here are some tips to help consumers protect themselves during and after a disaster, including how to spot possible opportunists, bad deals and con-artists:<\/p>\n

\n
Take photos:<\/strong> Here\u2019s a good idea for all homeowners anytime, but especially those dealing with storm\/ weather damage: Take photos and videos now of your home and belongings, if you can do it safely, so you can better document any losses.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>
\u00a0<\/p>\n
- \n
  Protect your pets:<\/strong> People forced to evacuate need to know if hotels or shelters will take their pets. Pets Welcome<\/a> is a good resource for that information for shelters<\/a> and hotels<\/a>. Additionally, many hotels relax their pet policies and waive pet fees during a natural disaster. Call ahead to find out. If people do have to leave their pets behind, PETA recommends<\/a> leaving at least 10 days\u2019 worth of food and water. Bring Fido offers these additional tips<\/a> to keep your dog safe during a hurricane<\/a> or other emergency<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>
  \u00a0<\/p>\n
  \n
  Watch out for fraud and scams:<\/strong> After past disasters, con artists have posed as federal employees, insurance agents and housing inspectors to steal information and money. Fake flood robocalls have promised victims money for simple information.<\/a>
  \nPeople can take several steps to protect themselves:
  \nAsk for appropriate identification. Don\u2019t give out personal information such as Social Security numbers, bank account information, policy numbers or anything else to someone you didn\u2019t contact independently.
  \nRemember FEMA doesn\u2019t charge anyone to submit an application.
  \nDon\u2019t give anyone a large deposit or down payment before they provide their goods or services.
  \nAnd don\u2019t pay in cash or with a wire transfer or gift card.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>
  \u00a0<\/p>\n
  \n
  Be on guard for price gouging:<\/strong> Texas<\/a> and 36 other states have anti-price gouging laws that protect consumers from prices that are inflated after an emergency is declared. If a business is hiking prices for gas, water, building supplies, food, ice or other needs, people should report it to their state attorney general\u2019s office immediately. Here is a link to the AG office in Texas<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>
  \u00a0<\/p>\n
  \n
  Make sure your food is safe:<\/strong> Food that is supposed to be refrigerated and hasn\u2019t been is obviously a problem. In addition, people should be extra careful with any containers that were exposed to germs in the air or containers that have visible damage. If in doubt, throw it out. Use bottled water or boiled water if possible until local authorities have confirmed the local water supply is safe. And completely disinfect all food preparation surfaces, utensils, baby bottles, cutting boards, etc. that have been exposed to dripping water or bacteria in the air.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>
  \u00a0<\/p>\n
  \n
  Watch out for identity theft:<\/strong> Identity theft can compound your problems after a disaster. Storm victims are particularly vulnerable. U.S. law allows anyone to freeze their credit files at no cost. People can find out more here about how to protect<\/a> themselves from identity theft.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>
  \u00a0<\/p>\n
  \n
  File claims quickly:<\/strong> Report your claim as soon as possible because insurance companies generally process claims first come, first served, according to the Consumer Federation of America. Also, insurers should not raise your rate for filing a hurricane claim or fail to renew your policy for filing one, CFA said. Make detailed lists of losses, including living expenses and debris removal, and keep all receipts.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>
  \u00a0<\/p>\n
  \n
  Vet contractors:<\/strong> Homeowners should use only licensed contractors with verifiable references to work on their property. When interviewing contractors, homeowners should ask for proof of their insurance and bonding, and about their past experience repairing damage from flooding or other disasters and their mold remediation practices. Each state has a Board of Contractors that offers a full list of licensed contractors. Homeowners can also get advice from FEMA.<\/a><\/p>\n
  \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
  \n
  Avoid scammers posing as charities:<\/strong>\u00a0Con-artists will try to take advantage of someone else\u2019s misfortune and people\u2019s big hearts by soliciting donations that won\u2019t really go to help disaster victims after all. Check out this\u00a0guide<\/a>\u00a0from the Federal Trade Commission on donating wisely and avoiding ripoffs.<\/p>\n
  \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
  \n
  Get estimates:<\/strong>\u00a0If possible, get multiple estimates from contractors to help you file a claim that will be accurate when it\u2019s time to pay the bill.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/body><\/html>","":null}}],"site_specific_content":""},"yoast_head":"\nDealing with the Texas storm: Protect yourself, your home and your finances<\/title>\n<meta
