Storing
Your Important
Documents

   There are many documents you will need to have in your possession when leaving or returning. But there are equally as many that you may not think of or may not even know you will need. FEMA and your Insurance Company will require specific documents to process your claim, in the event of damage or loss, you will want to have these on hand.

    Long before a storm threatens, collect all your important documents and records. Put the papers and items into a waterproof container, then keep the container in a safe place, perhaps a safety deposit box.

1. Birth certificates.
2. Insurance policies -- homeowners, flood, life, medical, auto, boat, plane and any other documents that outline property insurance coverage.
3. Identification -- including driver licenses, passports, visas, Social Security or voter registration cards -- for all members of the family. If your neighborhood is damaged, you might need such identification to gain access to your own property.
4. Any current bills, and at least one each of previous month's electric bill, water bill, telephone bill, gas bill, etc. In the event of catastrophic damage you will need these forms of verification for FEMA Assistance.
5. Backup disks or tapes of valuable computer information.
6. Irreplaceable photographs, videotapes, family heirlooms.
7. If you keep valuable papers and items in a safe-deposit box at a bank, make sure you have copies and a list of items kept there.
