Store your valuable items in a safe place

8/24/2021 (Permalink)

It might be difficult to prevent buildings from damage, especially during a large storm. However, smaller but valuable items can be stored safely.

The best way to store your valuable items during a storm will largely depend on what you are trying to prevent from being damaged.

Early preparation is key when it comes to ensuring your belongings remain safe during a severe storm. Besides boarding up your house, rushing to keep your valuable items safe in the hours before a hurricane can be an overwhelming experience.

You should keep all your essential documents inside zip-top bags before storing them inside a watertight storage container and keep the container high up where you are sure it can’t get wet during a flood. You also need to scan your documents and store them on a hard drive or in the cloud.

And if you have important jewelry, artwork, heirlooms as well as collectibles, make sure you have them documented and insured before storing them in a secure warehouse. And if you can’t store them in a warehouse, take them with you if you’ll be evacuating.
