Our house was not destroyed. I got to go in the smokey thing to do an inventory. Rather than write it all down while inside, I took pictures of everything. Opened drawers, closets, etc., spread the contents out, snapped a picture, pushed it aside and repeated over & over. SIL set me up with one of their computers and I just downloaded everything. I wrote my list in the comfort of their office.
I was able to use those pictures with the insurance and the restoration crew. I still have them for reference.
