Identify the location
Keep the affected address and a description of the property. If you save a map or fire report, include its source and date. A map alone does not establish property damage or eligibility for assistance.
AFTER WILDFIRE · START WHERE YOU ARE
Your home is more than a point on a map. Start with the place affected, the changes you experienced, and the details you want to keep. Then explore the next step that feels right for you.
A PLACE TO BEGIN
A clear record starts with a few meaningful details. Write down where you were affected, what happened, and when. You do not need to have every answer before you begin.
Keep the affected address and a description of the property. If you save a map or fire report, include its source and date. A map alone does not establish property damage or eligibility for assistance.
Bring dates, original photos, videos and notes together. Separate your own observations from information you found elsewhere, and mark uncertain details rather than guessing.
Keep your personal records under your control. Asking about support is your choice; sharing information with a legal-service provider should be a separate, informed decision.
THE PLACE THAT MATTERS
Make a note of the location, the rooms or land affected, and the changes you noticed. Keep original images with dates and descriptions so you can return to the details without relying on memory alone.
Your safety comes first. Never enter a restricted or unsafe area to collect photos or video.

A familiar view before the fire. A change you later noticed. A receipt or message that fills in a date. Keep those pieces together, preserving original files and noting which details you personally observed.
