When should I be allowed to enter my apartment to obtain any items that may have survived after a fire?

My apartment was destroyed by a fire in the complex. it has been over a month and still have not been able to enter my apartment and when I call the leasing manager or the management property, they have nothing to tell me besides that the case is in the hands of their insurance company. Although the windows and doors of my apartment have been boarded up, the roof is completely open and it has been raining for days. So now, not only were my belongings damaged by fire and previous water damaged. It has now been rained on about 5 times. Is there anything that I can do?
