We now live in a world where emergencies and disasters are unfortunately becoming the norm. From hurricanes, fires and floods to man-made disasters like construction or in the worse case terrorism, we are facing greater sources of disaster than in times past.
In some cases, you may be able to see it coming and prepare your family and home, but if you were forced to evacuate quickly would you know what to do?
Steps You Can Take
Prepare a Family Disaster Plan and test it. Make sure each member of your family knows what to do, where to meet if something happens
Have a “grab and go” kit like the Securta Vital Records PortaVault™ that documents key information regarding health and property ownership
Keep a 3 day Emergency Supply of non-perishable foods, water, medication and cash on hand
Review your insurance policy and know ahead of the game what coverage you have and what type of documentation you’ll need in case of a loss.
Take the time to conduct a Home Inventory or have someone do it for you
Back up your computer information and data and place this back up in a secure, fireproof and waterproof location
