It is always a good idea to be prepared for a disaster by having a few key documents set aside in your home. Pick a spot easy to access where you’ll remember to go when you’re in panic mode.  Keep the following in a waterproof container or copy them all onto a disk or flash drive for a quick grab and go:

Insurance papers—life, auto, health and business
Credit card statements
Birth certificates
Passports
CD with photographs of your household belongings/valuables
Important phone numbers
Last two years of tax returns

If there are other items in your home that you want to remember to fetch, write yourself a list and include it in this folder to help you remember at the critical time. Call or text us for more details on Disaster Preparedness or San Diego real estate at 858-231-6722.
