A Grab-and-Go Kit is made up of your most important and irreplaceable papers, photos, mementos and a backup of your computer. It’s best to keep these items in plastic, Ziploc bags. We recommend you use the two-gallon bags as they will easily protect and secure most of your folders, files and papers. Put the bags in a waterproof and fireproof lockbox. If you don’t have one, we recommend you pick one up, or consider double-bagging these valuables. Imagine how hard life would be after a disaster without insurance papers, birth certificates and your computer files. To protect your family from that nightmare, your Grab-and-Go Kit should include: • Apartment and condo leases • Home or other property deeds (mortgages, etc.) • Estate documents • Homeowner’s or renter’s insurance documents • Wills • Life insurance policies • Inventory of possessions and their value • List of important phone numbers (family, friends, etc.) • Flood insurance documents • Vehicle titles, leases, loan documents, etc. • Financial statements (accounts, checks, tax returns, etc.) • Stocks and bonds • Copies of recent bills (power, water, etc.) • Government financial assistance award letters • Birth certificates or proof of citizenship • Social Security cards • Employment contracts or other legal documents • Medical records, x-rays, benefits documents, etc. • Education reports (report cards, acceptance letters) • Passports • Duplicate prescriptions from doctor • Backup computer files (on a CD, DVD, etc.) • Paperwork for your pets (medical records, registration, etc.) • Copies of important keys
