Whenever I see the ruins of a home after a tornado or hurricane or other disaster, my heart always goes out to the occupants. What
treasures were in there that are lost forever? Do they have anything to wear? To eat? Can anything in that chaos be salvaged?
When starting over after a disaster, people deal not only with physical loss but also with emotional trauma and financial impacts. Here's a guide to make it easier.
Have you ever experienced a major disaster and had to start over? Or do you know anyone who has? Do you have any tips on salvage and cleanup to share? Any suggestions to help people emotionally? Would you share your story in the comments?
If your home ever falls victim to a disaster, a home inventory list will help you when it comes time to file the insurance claim. It’s a good idea to store this inventory in the cloud or away from the premises you are inventorying.
Having an inventory ahead of time is far easier than trying to create one from memory.
We’ve made it easy with this 25-page inventory
printable with prompts and guidance to help you remember everything.
