Is it safe?
Power, trees, ceilings, wind, and roof access come first.
The roof is open
If wind or a limb opened the roof, a tarp can help keep more rain out until the permanent repair is ready. It is temporary, but sometimes temporary is what you need first.
Stay away from power lines, damaged trees, wet electrical areas, sagging ceilings, and any roof that is not safe to walk on.
When the roof is open now
Call with the damage and current hazards. Temporary covering can follow when access is safe, with permanent repair planning close behind.

Using a tarp safely
It is temporary. Wind, sun, rain, and the damaged roof all affect how long it holds. Permanent work should follow as soon as possible.
Wet and damaged roofs are dangerous. If there is any doubt, stay down and call for help.
