A proper emergency tarp stops water damage inside your home while you wait for the adjuster and the permanent repair. Matata's 24/7 line is (321) 444-5191.
Most Central Florida emergency tarps run $350–$650 depending on size, pitch and access. The cost is usually included in a covered insurance claim as mitigation.
A heavy-duty tarp runs over the ridge so water can't get under it, is secured with wood battens screwed through the tarp edges, and extends past the damaged area on every side. Sandbags alone blow off in the next squall.
A well-installed tarp typically lasts 60–90 days in Florida sun. Plan your permanent repair or replacement within that window.

Usually yes. Florida policies require you to mitigate further damage, and reasonable tarping costs are normally part of a covered claim. Keep the invoice and photos.
We don't recommend it on wet or steep roofs. Falls after storms are common. If you do, run the tarp over the ridge and secure it with battens, not just sandbags.
