If you lost your house in the Spokane fire, please read this
My home burned down in the 2020 CZU fire. You'd think that if you lost your home to a natural disaster, the information you need would be available somewhere, but that's not the case. Each person must proceed as if they were the first person in history to ever experience something like this. Eventually, yes - the municipality will provide some information, but in the beginning, there's nothing. So someone shell-shocked is expected to hunt around for answers.
This was the most infuriating part of the experience for me in the beginning. And folks who had already gone through the experience, even recently, weren't much help, due to Disaster Brain and a desire to forget such a traumatic experience. So I took copious notes while I made my way through it and created this document, which contains everything I wish I had known those first few months.
Also, in light of this, what I recommend for folks to do to prepare, just in case, is take pictures NOW. Every room, every closet, every drawer, under the bed, etc. Then the contents of the garage, attic, outbuildings, etc. Then take pictures of the outside of your house and your back and front yards. Make sure these are uploaded somewhere. If your house becomes a casualty, you'll need these.
