Hurricane Isaias Insurance Claims: Frequently Asked Questions

Delta Consulting Group’s Insurance & Recovery Practice provides independent consulting services to businesses affected by hurricane-related property damage and operational disruption. Its multidisciplinary team combines forensic accounting, construction, engineering, and scheduling expertise to help policyholders document losses, quantify business interruption, prepare insurance claims, and support the recovery process.

Businesses should confirm employee accountability procedures, activate crisis communications protocols and identify who is responsible for damage assessment and property protection. They should also review business continuity plans, confirm recovery leadership and secure key claims, restoration and technical resources before they are needed.

Once conditions are safe, the organization should account for employees and contractors, assess property damage, implement emergency mitigation measures and document conditions with photographs, videos and written observations. Businesses should also notify insurers as required, preserve relevant evidence and track all costs associated with emergency response and recovery.

Businesses should document damage through photographs, videos and written observations, while preserving relevant records and evidence. They should maintain updated asset registers, inventory lists, vendor contracts, invoices, maintenance records and financial and operational data to support the claim.

A business continuity plan should identify critical functions, alternate work arrangements, temporary operating locations, alternate routes and supplier options. It should also establish recovery priorities, milestones and timelines and provide a process for monitoring operational impacts and recovery progress.

A designated recovery leader should coordinate recovery workstreams, assign accountability and establish decision-making and escalation procedures. Recovery governance should align operations, finance, risk management and executive leadership through recurring status meetings and clear reporting.

Businesses should maintain offsite or cloud-based backups of financial and operational data, updated asset registers and inventory lists, photographs of property conditions, vendor contracts, invoices and maintenance records. These records can help establish the organization’s pre-loss condition and support subsequent insurance and recovery activities.

Organizations should consider identifying claim preparation consultants, forensic accountants, engineers, technical experts, coverage counsel and other legal advisers before a loss occurs. They should also confirm each resource’s availability, deployment expectations and information-sharing protocols.

Recovery decisions should be evaluated in light of the organization’s insurance coverage to help identify potential gaps and uninsured losses. Risk managers should review policy coverages, limits, deductibles, waiting periods, business interruption provisions, extra expense coverage and documentation requirements.

Critical vendors and suppliers may affect the organization’s ability to restore operations. Businesses should evaluate vendor readiness, identify contingency vendors and alternate sourcing options and consider potential supply chain disruptions, bottlenecks and resource shortages.

Restoration resources may become difficult to secure after a widespread storm. Organizations should identify primary and secondary restoration contractors, confirm the availability of specialty vendors and emergency service providers and establish preliminary scopes of work and recovery expectations.

Recovery communications should provide regular updates on employee impacts, workforce availability, operational status, business interruption, financial impacts, emerging risks, recovery milestones and insurance claim activity. Organizations should also maintain a centralized repository for recovery documentation and decision-making records.

Finance should evaluate cash flow requirements, available liquidity, credit facilities and contingency funding sources during the recovery period. Organizations should also understand the potential timing gap between incurring losses and receiving insurance recoveries and align financial planning with anticipated claim proceeds.
