Dealing With Disasters

There is little worse than the thought of losing your home or business. Whether it's to a flood or fire, or the imminent landfall of a hurricane, losing your home is a dreadful thought. Preparations, thoughtfully made, will ease the stress.

Prepare an escape plan. Have several ways to contact everyone. Print it out, as well has having e-versions. Keep it updated.
Identify who lives elsewhere that you can call, and where you plan to meet if you are separated.
Pets? Think through how to best care for them - can they evacuate with you in a pet carrier? Can they be set loose?
Draft or update your will, assign power of attorney for financial and legal affairs, and also for medical issues. Talk to the people who you'd want to hold these positions for you.
For your data, finances, insurances, records, have a list of what exists, a location where lists are kept that is fireproof/off-site, and who has access. Our workbook pulls all of this together. Again, keep this information in several forms and in several places.
