Many of the major home owner's insurance compaines have set up claims processing systems that are based on clients filing claims online or on calling special 1-800 numbers in the event of a home owner needing to file a claim.  Some compaines do not offer such services. Some do, but prefer that home owners try to contact their agent first. The Disaster Center provides a list of major home owner insurers in the United States with their contact information.
