Make + Store Copies of Important Documents

You need to have access to your information. What happens when the cloud stops clouding?

Times have drastically changed. We are encased in a digital world and our most critical, intimate information lives in the cloud. This information is accessible 24 hours a day, every day - until there is no way to access it.

  • identification 
  • passports
  • drivers' licenses
  • Social Security cards 
  • birth certificates. 
You will also need; 

  • your medical records
  • prescriptions names and ID numbers
  • insurance policies
  • property deeds
  • banking information
  • and emergency contact information
  • For purely sentimental reasons, take some of those old, favorite photos

If you have bug-out bags lor other locations, include directions to each one and access codes. Store this information securely.

Store copies of these documents in several places 

  • waterproof sleeves or dry bags
  • inside your bug-out bag
  • in the trunk of your vehicle 
  • in a fireproof safe at home
For added protection, keep digital backups on encrypted USB drives or SD cards. 

Keep one with you and another with a trusted relative in a different location. 

After the initial disorder of mandatory evacuation or a State or a Nationwide system failure, proving your identity, accessing health care, or reclaiming your property can be days or months' long bureaucratic nightmare - especially if you have no ID and no documents.
