I have been here..
First, find a place to live.
Check with your company to see if they know of a place where they put up contractors and long term guests.
If , look into the yellow pages to find furnished short term apartments.
When you find one, TELL the insurance company where you will be staying, and let them know that they are picking up the tab.
Second, get a restoration company, like Servpro, to come in and estimate the cost for restoration. They are licensed, bonded and insured. They don’t want you to save them money ( I know this sounds stupid, but it’s true). Give the estimate to the insurance company. Tell them that this is contingent upon the discovery of hidden damages (and you WILL find them).
Third, assume the role of project manager. Keep track of every dime and minute spent on this project. Use Excel or some other program.
And last, as project manager you get to lose your mind on people only once. Choose wisely.
Good luck.

Our local Servpro has a 71% “1 star rating”
The crew they sent to clean/ restore/replace is run by somebody who used t work for that Servpro but went out on her own is the circus who threw out hundreds of of dollars of brand new art supplies but fixated on bottles of hydrogen peroxide instead.
