Mario Veas spent Monday night hunkered down with his family. But he has been running ever since.
Veas runs a tree service in Willow Grove, Pa. He says his phone has been ringing nonstop because people want trees felled by the storm chopped up and cleared.
"Everybody [is] calling and they want [the job] to be done this morning," Veas says.
Insurance Information
Eqecat Inc. estimates $10 billion to $20 billion in insured losses from Superstorm Sandy. The company, which provides catastrophic risk models, says total economic damage could be as high as $50 billion.
If you need to file a claim, the Insurance Information Institute has a variety of resources on its website, including:
— a guide to settling insurance claims after a disaster,
— an insurance coverage FAQ, and
- a list of claims-filing phone numbers for several insurance companies.
And the National Flood Insurance Program's website has information about buying flood insurance.
