Navigating Insurance & Grants
Documenting Damage
Before cleaning up, document everything for local insurance or county relief claims:
- Take clear, timestamped photos and videos of all damaged property and structures.
- Make an inventory list of lost or ruined items. Include purchase receipts if available.
- Obtain a Police Abstract if requested by your insurance provider (e.g., Jubilee, Britam) for significant property loss.
Applying for County Assistance
Many county governments provide emergency stipends or relief kits.
- Visit your local Chief's office to register as an affected person.
- Bring your original National ID and copies.
- Fill out the Disaster Needs Assessment form provided by the county officials or Red Cross volunteers.
