There have already been some pretty bad disasters around North America this year, but that doesn’t mean these things are at an end. Instead you should think about what would happen to your important documents if something terrible happened to your place of residence.
One of Tardy & Co, PC’s employee’s ceilings collapsing due to hail and rain damage has nothing to do with this post, we promise.
If something does happen to your home (we hope not though) you are probably going to need some kind of paperwork that you probably kept there.
These days, one of the places most immune from natural disaster is the “cloud” or online storage. It’s not that difficult to scan and then save your documents to the cloud so that you have them in the case of an emergency. Additionally, if you have pictures of your home and the contents, it can make making insurance and casualty loss claims in federal disaster zones much easier.
Disaster planning works on the Boy Scout model: Be Prepared. It’s much better to waste some time doing this now than it would be to need these things but not have them later.
