Hurricane Season: Inventory

So the storm is coming and it's strong - do you know what you have?

It's something all of us should have at all times anyway.

It's time to make an inventory of your household goods.  By this I mean:

• Take snapshots of each room in your home.
• Write down the serial number and model number of electronics and appliances.
• Count the number of articles of clothing that you have.  This will give you an idea of the monetary amount of your clothing.
• Don't forget you bed (I bought one last year, $900).
• Don't forget the number of kitchen towels, bath towels, sheets, other bedding.
• Don't forget food (some homeowner's and  renter's policies will cover this)
• Don't forget all the stuff you have in the garage.

 This is something that should be done whether a storm is approaching or not.  This information can be used in case of fire, theft, tornadoes or other perils.

Do not store this information on your computer since it may be damaged or stolen. 

Do not put this information on a public site, after all you do not want to make yourself a target for theft.

Do keep these somewhere safe that you can access if needed and update often.
