During the Event:

Insurance coverage: 

If you have insurance, FEMA recommends you file a claim with your insurance provider as soon as possible. You don't have to file a claim with your insurer to apply for FEMA assistance, but an insurance settlement or denial from your insurer can make you eligible for certain types of assistance. By law, FEMA can't pay for losses covered by your insurance.

You should also consider visiting the Washington Emergency Management Division's website to learn more about state and local assistance that may be available.

Anyone with questions about insurance coverage related to wildfires can call the Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC) at 1-800-562-6900 to speak with experts. OIC has tips for filing a claim after a natural disaster and information for homeowners about wildfires and their insurance.
