Know What You OwnBefore Wildfire Season.
Idaho sees some of the most destructive wildfires in the West. One quick walkthrough with Preloss creates a timestamped record of what's in your home.
The Problem
Most Idaho homeowners are flying blind.
Moose Fire (2022): The 2022 Moose Fire burned over 70,000 acres in Lemhi County, threatening homes and infrastructure throughout the region.
When a wildfire 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
Idaho wildfire seasons keep breaking records.
Nearly 900,000 acres burned in Idaho in 2022 alone. Remote and rural homes are especially exposed, and reconstructing a detailed list of belongings from memory after a total loss is notoriously difficult. Creating a record in advance is one option homeowners have.

Idaho
Common questions from Idaho homeowners
- How does Idaho's wildfire risk affect contents documentation?
- Fires like the Moose Fire burn in steep, remote terrain where containment takes weeks and access is limited. Households in the wildland-urban interface may be evacuated with little warning and kept out for an extended period, which makes a record created in advance more useful than one intended for later.
- Does Idaho homeowners insurance cover a total wildfire loss of contents?
- Personal property is covered up to the policy limit, and the question in a total loss is usually whether that limit reflects what was actually owned. Insurers typically ask for a description of lost items with approximate values, which is the part households find hardest after everything is gone.
- What is the difference between replacement cost and actual cash value in Idaho?
- Actual cash value settles at depreciated value; replacement cost settles at what it costs to buy the item new, though often in 2 stages with the depreciation recoverable on proof of replacement. Which applies is stated on the declarations page and materially changes what a contents claim pays.
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 Idaho department of insurance.
