I’d welcome the opportunity to connect “real-world”. I deal in disaster preparedness.

Having gone through several fires in Malibu, the Corral Canyon Fire on November 24, 2007 was the one that destroyed my home. Based on what I went through with 53 other homeowners, people are not prepared (95% weren’t insured properly). You need to understand your property values and what it would cost to replace your possessions. The only way to be sure you're adequately covered is to do a detailed home inventory of your possessions and what they would cost to replace.

I recommend you take a look at a company called DocuHome Home Inventory

I definitely think that we need to be more prepared here in America for disasters. In light of everything that has happened in foreign countries, we could be a little more prepared, just in case disaster strikes here. Thanks for posting!

if things go better than planned you need to be ready

It's always better to be prepared, which is why businesses need to organize and create pre and post disaster strategies before an emergency situation strikes. I know organizations like Immediate Response Group are perfect for this because they have trained individuals within the Midwest, away from many of the worst disasters.

Aside from protecting your family's safety, financial preparations need to take precedence. Start with your Insurance.
