What to do in Case of a Disaster
6 Things to do Tonight to Protect Your Tomorrows
1) Memorize your Social Security Number and the Social Security Number of your spouse and any minor children.
2) Take pictures & make a list of everything you own.
Open every drawer and closet because you will forget what you have. Also take pictures in attic, garage. Take pictures of trees, fences and exteriors of car and home. Having an up-to-date home inventory will help you:
a.) Purchase enough insurance to replace the things you own.
b.) Get your insurance claims settled faster.
c.) Substantiate losses for your income tax return.
You can always simply make a list in a notebook and save receipts and photos in a file. The Insurance Information Institute has a FREE “Home Inventory … Know Your Stuff” software program that you can download to make this process of taking a home inventory as easy and complete as possible.
