- Hey, this is CFO Patronis.

- What this is going to do, if you’re effected by this storm, it’s going to give you a cut and dry example of what your house looks like before the storm and now what it looks like after the storm, if you had damage.
- You’ll have that to take to your insurance company in order to have a cut and dry claim process. Quick tip to make sure your claim if you have one, goes smoothly.
