Materials hold water long after a surface feels dry — insulation, wall cavities, the underside of subfloors, the void behind a base cabinet. Drying equipment placed on the basis of what is visibly wet routinely misses those, and moisture readings are how they are found rather than assumed.
Speed matters more here than in a dry climate. Ambient humidity is already high, which means materials dry slower and the window before growth begins is shorter.
The insurance side is a separate discipline from the drying. Documenting the loss properly, at the time, with readings and photographs, is what makes the difference to a claim — and it cannot be reconstructed afterwards.

Moisture readings, not touch. Wall cavities, insulation and subfloors hold water long after a surface feels dry, and equipment placed only where it looks wet routinely leaves those.
Readings are the only honest answer.
Faster here than in a dry climate, because the ambient humidity is already high and materials dry more slowly.
That is why the first day matters disproportionately.
That depends on cause and policy and is not something to be promised. What helps is documenting properly at the time — readings, photographs, scope — because that cannot be recreated later.
