# What Not To Do

- **DO NOT** sign anything immediately after property damage to the home or business. Take time to read all forms or work orders thoroughly.
- **DO NOT** give anyone carte blanche for any repairs or work to be done. Get estimates.
- **DO NOT** leave the site until it is secured.
- If you have a fire safe, **DO NOT OPEN IMMEDIATELY**, even if there are important documents inside. The safe may explode, or the contents ignite.
- **DO NOT** throw away any damaged property until inventoried.
