How prepared are you for a disaster?

When flood, fire, or another fast-moving disaster occurs, our first and correct inclination is to save ourselves and our family members (and this includes dearly loved pets) by getting out of the danger zone as swiftly as possible. However, when you have some warning, as is often the case with hurricanes, rising waters from incipient floods, or wildfires, you may want to consider having your important financial documents in one spot so you can grab and run.

Consider purchasing a small portable fire-proof safe that contains your important documents such as:

Checking and Savings account numbers
A list of your credit cards, the issuing company and their contact information
Investments
Appraisals for items such as art or jewelry
Keys to your safe deposit box
Your will
Power of Attorney
Passports
Social Security cards
Birth certificates
Adoption records
Marriage licences
Pet veterinary records
Homeowner documents
Other legal documents
Insurance policies – homeowner, vehicles, etc.
Important and irreplaceable pictures such as wedding or baby pictures
Videos of important occasions (wedding, baby, etc.)
A list of phone numbers and addresses of family and friends that you may need to contact. You may not have your cell phone with you when you have to leave.

Ensure your peace of mind by knowing that your important documents and other critical items are all in one container that you can easily carry with you as you leave in a hurry.
