Why it's important: After a major disaster such as a flood, you will need to document property loss and damage for insurance and income tax purposes. In addition, you may need to apply for financial assistance to recover from the disaster. Having quick access to these types of documents is necessary to complete application forms and will help reduce delay and frustration. Make copies of important documents and contact information or store the information on a CD or memory stick. Then protect these backups by storing them in a waterproof container or in a safe deposit box. Resources: |
