Know What You OwnBefore Tornado Season.
Alabama sits in the heart of Dixie Alley, where powerful tornadoes can destroy a home in seconds. Preloss creates a timestamped record before the sky turns dark.
The Problem
Most Alabama homeowners are flying blind.
Easter Tornado Outbreak (2020): The 2020 Easter tornado outbreak produced 141 tornadoes across 10 states, with Alabama among the hardest hit.
When a tornado destroys your home, insurers want proof. Without documentation, you're left reconstructing your entire life from memory, and insurers dispute every item they can.

How It Works
How to document your home for insurance, from inventory to claim.
Preloss covers the full lifecycle: creating a record of what you own, organizing evidence when something happens, and exporting everything in one structured packet.
Before: Document What You Own
Create a complete video-based inventory before anything happens. Most homeowners can document their entire home in under an hour.
- Record a video walkthrough of each room: no tripod, no setup, just your phone
- AI identifies items, brands, and models from your video frames automatically
- Scan receipts and serial plates to attach purchase price and identity proof
- Run a coverage gap analysis: compare your inventory value to your policy limits
During: When Something Happens
If disaster strikes, your inventory becomes your claim documentation. Mark what was affected and attach evidence.
- Mark items as damaged, destroyed, or stolen in your existing inventory
- Attach damage photos as visual evidence for each affected item
- Your pre-loss timestamps are already Bitcoin-notarized, independently verifiable
After: Organize & Export
Export a structured claim packet. Everything organized, timestamped, and ready to share.
- Generate a claim PDF with loss summary, item-by-item details, and evidence photos
- Export a complete ZIP: inventory PDF, claim PDF, CSV, all photos, and verification proofs

Why Now
13 minutes of warning. Not enough to document a house.
Alabama sits in Dixie Alley. NOAA puts the average tornado warning lead time at about 13 minutes: enough to reach shelter, not enough to photograph a house room by room. Creating a video-based record in advance is one way homeowners in tornado country can be prepared.

Common questions from Alabama homeowners
- Does Alabama homeowners insurance cover tornado damage?
- Wind damage from a tornado is generally a covered peril under a standard homeowners policy. In coastal Alabama, wind may be excluded and written separately, so the same event can be handled differently depending on where in the state the property sits.
- How quickly do Alabama tornadoes give households warning?
- Warning times are typically measured in minutes, and outbreaks like the 2020 Easter event can produce multiple tornadoes across the state in a single day. There is no realistic opportunity to photograph rooms or gather records once a warning is issued.
- What documentation helps with an Alabama tornado claim?
- A description of what was lost with approximate ages and values, supported by images. Where a home is destroyed, the inventory itself is often the largest piece of work in the claim, which is why creating it in advance changes the position a household is in.
This is general information about how policies commonly work, not legal or insurance advice. Coverage varies by policy and carrier. For decisions about your own coverage or a specific claim, consult a licensed professional or the Alabama department of insurance.
