Bad storms are no longer designated to the South during
hurricane season or Oklahoma
during tornado season. Devastating weather can happen anywhere in the country
and at any time. Forbes Living TV offers suggestions about how to prep for a
storm.
All it takes is one strike of lightning to the roof of a
house for a fire to start and prized personal possessions to be destroyed.
Fortunately, there are steps and apps to download which can make it easier to
list what you own.
Start with an Internet search for making household
inventories. Download the app you want and then start taking pictures with your
smart phone of valuable belongings.
Collect important documents such as mortgage paperwork,
rental leases, all insurance documents, vet records, banking and credit card
information. Seal them in plastic baggies and store someplace where you always
know where they are.
Most people already have apps for their banks and insurance
companies on smart phones. If not, now is the time to install what you need for
emergencies. Never wait until the last minute and lose a connection due to down
cell towers and phone lines.
Forbes Living suggests stocking up on the necessities
beforehand: batteries in various sizes to last three weeks, a case or two of
bottled water, plain bleach for sanitizing water, non-perishable food like
crackers, canned meats, soup and canned fruit. The more prepared you are now,
the easier it will be if bad weather makes a mess of your home and life.
