What is a Home Loss File System?

Soon after experiencing loss from a fire, it is common to be inundated with paperwork from multiple sources including (but not limited to) insurance documents, FEMA, the DMV, demolition companies, and new builders.  Without an organized file system, these papers may simply get shoved into a shoe-box and/or may “pile-up” without an easy way to access them when needed.  Getting organized, helps you feel in control of your life again.  

The Home Loss File System is a portable file box with pre-labeled hanging file folders and manila folders that helps organize and store in one place all of the important forms, receipts, contracts, applications, and other documents that are accumulated after the loss of your home.  The box also includes worksheets with helpful information and tips.
