If you have not been evacuated but your home could become threatened:

• Make a home inventory: document your personal possessions, because proof of ownership can make your claim settlement easier and faster.

• Back up your information: Back up vital photos, documents and financial information.

• Evacuation Plan: create it, discuss it and rehearse it. Include: where to go/reunite, who to call, etc.
