Emergency Preparedness

Dear Sisters,
As you know, we are in the hurricane season, and I am sure that you have been talking with your families regarding getting prepared. A couple of months ago I ran across an article in the Chronicle about this subject. I thought this article gave some great advice that would be easy to do and would save a lot of headaches in the event of a hurricane or other disaster.

The article explained that it is important to take pictures of the inside, and outside of your home --either by camera or video. In the event of destruction of your property, This is important documentation to be used for insurance purposes. Using the pictures, you have a good source of proof for your claims.

It is also important to take the pictures, either in a flash drive, or the actual cd or photos with you if you are evacuating. Or, you can put them in a safety deposit box away from your home. Or you can mail it to some trusted relative and ask them to keep it at their home. Then, if your home is destroyed, you won't loose the photos.

The entire article can be found here.

Hope all continues to be well for the families in your wards.
Love, Irene Thomas
