- Notify Seesam about what happened as soon as possible and follow the instructions provided by Seesam.
- Fill in the Household Property Insurance Loss Adjustment Form, append a list of damaged property and a letter of explanation describing what happened. Preserve the remains of the assets for which you are seeking indemnification.
- Keep the remains of the types of assets or which you are looking to receive an indemnity.
- Preserve the scene of damage in an untouched state until a representative from Seesam has inspected it.
Fire
- If necessary, evacuate the people or administer first aid to the casualty or casualties.
- Start fighting the fire with the basic fire extinguishing equipment.

Break-in, robbery, vandalism
- Notify the police of the incident. To do so, call 112.
Water damage

- Immediately begin clean-up and drying works and protect your assets from any further possible damage (more to another room, cover with plastic, etc.).
Liability insurance
