Is the original still online somewhere? There were several links given that I'd like to follow, but can't do that with a PDF. CyberCelt, that’s a wonderful, comprehensive piece.

I have a five-part disaster preparedness series on my Texas RV Travel blog. Upon request, I made it into a PDF for easy downloading. Katrina effected me deeply as well.

Too many people think they'll never need the info, so they neglect it. The Red Cross and Civil Defense cover pretty much all the bases. I wish more people would check them out.

The last thing you need to worry about while evacuating is an insurance policy number! Kat, I have most of my stuff saved to disc, also, but really should update.

I don't have medical insurance, so no worries there! My grandfather does though. As for bank accounts, I have all of mine and my mother's memorized, and I have online accounts with money saved there. So for the most part, I'm pretty much prepared in that respect. Though what could hit NM that would force an evacuation is beyond me really.

This is an important issue. I don't think that people take it seriously enough. I would like to point out that the Red Cross has a link on their site on this subject.

I do about 10 sheets of paper a day. Then I burn them to disc and label them. I keep the discs in a 1 quart plastic ziploc bag, right on my desk. If something bad were to happen, which it very well could here in Florida, I can grab the bag, and throw it in my purse, for when we have to evac. I can't take a file cabinet, but I can take a plstic bag. I’ve started scanning all of my important papers, SS cards, medical records etc. It’s tedious and time consuming.
