Routine hurricane preparation includes securing important documents (including, but not limited to all insurance papers) and taking them with you during evacuation. During hurricane season, these documents are on top of my hurricane bug out bag.
Scanning them to a CD is a very good idea.
Talking head yesterday from insurance company said video tape your inventory/possessions and email to friend as backu.
yes...that is a very good idea...I hadn't even thought of that...(how simple...how dumb not to think about doing so)
