The recent devastating California wildfires remind us that it’s important to have certain important documents together and convenient if an emergency occurs and it’s necessary to evacuate. Below is a a list of suggested important documents you may want to have ready, whether hard copies or electronic copies:

  • Birth certificates, Social Security cards, and passports or visas
  • Home, car, and health insurance cards and documents
  • Drivers licenses or other backup ID
  • Tax records and employment records
  • Wills, powers of attorney, and medical history
  • Military and VA records
  • Marriage licenses and other licenses such as concealed carry permits
  • Veterinarian records for your pets, which would be necessary for boarding
  • A video record of everything in your home, all rooms, garage contents, closets and basement or attic contents, either on your phone or on a USB drive

Thanks to the South Broadway Neighborhood Association for sending this list to us.
