important documents

Why it's important: After a major disaster, you may need financial assistance and will want to document any property loss for insurance and income tax purposes. Having ready access to the documents necessary for completing application forms, as well as those which could be difficult to replace, will help reduce potential delay and frustration.

You can also scan the documents onto your computer and store them on a CD or memory stick. Make sure you check regularly that these still function properly.

For further information see our Prepare in a Year Important Documents Activity 页面。

  • Do you have a safe way to heat a small room?
  • Can you stay with a relative or at a friend's house?
  • Is a local motel an option? Do they have heat? What is their phone number?
