Find temporary accommodation

You may prefer to stay with friends or family. Otherwise who you should contact depends on if you:

• have buildings insurance – your insurer will arrange for you to stay in a hotel or similar. If you want to bring a pet with you make sure the insurer arranges pet-friendly accommodation, for example the Travelodge chain
• own your home but aren’t insured – contact the emergency housing department of your local council in England and Wales or the Housing Executive in Northern Ireland
• are renting or a guest at someone’s home – call your landlord, letting agent or housing association. If they can’t help you, contact the emergency housing department of your local authority or the Housing Executive.
