Keep Important Papers Together

Have your insurance papers, house deed, and other important documents in one place so you can grab them quickly. During an emergency, keep them in a water-tight, zip-lock bag and take them with you if you have to leave. 

Keep Records of Your Possessions

Each year, take pictures of your home, both outside and inside, and of all your possessions in case of an insurance claim. Keep those with your important papers. 

Note: Do not keep documents in an airtight bag for long-term storage, as condensation locked inside will deteriorate the paper. 

Florida Department of Highway Safety

List your emergency contacts with the Florida Department of Highway Safety. This service allows law enforcement to know your emergency contact information in the event of an emergency.

Florida Division of Emergency Management

Florida Division of Emergency Management has information to assist you in developing your personal emergency plan.
