DISB Issues a Four-Step Storm Preparedness Plan (cont'd.)
Step Two – Take an Inventory of Your Property
- It’s always a good idea to take photos or videos of your home before a disaster strikes to properly record the condition of the home. If you use a digital camera, e-mail the photos to yourself, a friend or relative or store them on a Web site.
- Take an inventory of your personal property such as clothes, jewelry, furniture, computers and audio/video equipment. Photos and video of your home, as well as sales receipts and the model and serial numbers of items, will make filing a claim simpler. Leave a copy of your inventory with friends or relatives, e-mail it to yourself and store it in a safe location. In addition, add insurance information to your inventory–the name of your company and agent, policy number and contact information.
- Move all your important documents to a safe location. Take them with you when you evacuate or store them in a safe deposit box outside the area.
