Important Business Papers and Information To Take During An Evacuation
As the Gulf Coast region faces the possibility of another hurricane, I’m preparing for the worst. Do you know what papers you’d grab in an emergency? Here are some of the papers and business information I’m taking with me should I need to evacuate New Orleans.
All my insurance information is going into the magic folder of papers. This should include renter’s, house, car, life, health, dental etc. Tax I.D., business license, doing business as forms go in, too. Those little cards in your wallet might be enough to see you through an emergency, but I’m taking any paperwork I don’t want to reapply for if the worst happens.
Something many people forget to take is a list of usernames and passwords for various websites. Just like we forget phone numbers when we have speed dial, cookies have made it easy to forget passwords! If you can’t take your desktop, taking a list of this information may help you keep your business moving from a computer at your evacuation hidey-hole.
