business insurance proceeds

If a business receives insurance proceeds, that does not need to be claimed as income, but how do you handle the expenses of rebuilding? For example, a small building blew down in a storm. Insurance proceeds were received, and a new building was put up, which needs to be depreciated.

You reduce the basis of the new building by the amount of insurance proceeds received.

The more I know, the more I don't know.
