“The final letter, K, is to keep all of your receipts. You’ll want to track all of your wildfire-related expenses for claims and tax deductions in the future.”

Experts like Brown recommend documenting every part of the recovery process as best you can. This practice also applies to the insurance claims process.

“As you make phone calls and send emails, keep track of all communications, such as when you communicate with them and who you communicate with,” Brown advised. “Be sure to record any identifying information they give, such as employee ID numbers, badge numbers, etc.”

“You want all communications in writing as evidence to substantiate any claims made should any issues arise during this process,” she said.
