It Pays to Be Prepared For Severe Storms

Sherie Dodsworth, founder of Securita, created the Porta- Vault to help people gathertheir vital documents.

(NU) - If your home is hit by a severe storm, are you properly prepared to quickly gather all of your vital documents and paperwork? 

Most people aren’t, according to a survey by major insurance companies. In fact, only 38 percent of homeowners in hurricane- prone areas in Atlantic coast communities stored important documents in a safe place. 

Each year, weather-related catastrophes, in addition to fires and earthquakes, force people to leave their homes at a moment’s notice. 

Likewise, families who suddenly encounter a health emergency or need to aid an elderly family member can also avoid hardship by having all of the important documents in one place. 

“After I saw victims of Hurricane Katrina being evacuated with nothing but the clothes on their backs, I realized how unprepared many people are when a disaster strikes, and I was determined to help solve this problem,” said Sherie Dodsworth, founder of Securita, the company that developed the Vital Records PortaVault — a product that helps people locate and store their most important documents. 

Self-contained in a zip-up canvas case, it holds hundreds of pages of documents filed on a three-ring binder and can easily be transported when disaster strikes, unlike a file cabinet or boxes.

Arranging the myriad types of paperwork may seem like a daunting task, but the PortaVault system simplifies this process by using a series of pre-printed labels that identify more than 100 documents commonly found in a home. A label is applied to a record protector, then the documents listed on the label are located and inserted into the record protector.
 
The Vital Records PortaVault also includes preprinted forms to help summarize important information and provides guidance on emergency planning.
