How This Week's News of Fires in California Can Inspire Action

This week's news has been filled with heartbreaking stories of devastation from California’s relentless wildfires. Thousands of families, just like mine and yours, are enduring unimaginable loss and confronting what must feel like an overwhelming journey toward rebuilding their lives. 

It’s easy to think, “That’s so sad but it would never happen to me.” But ask anyone who has faced, or is currently facing loss, and they will tell you they thought the exact same thing! 

As extreme weather becomes more and more common across our country, it serves as a stark reminder that WE ARE ALL AT RISK and would benefit from preparing our homes and families for the unexpected!

So regardless of where you live or what weather might come your way, you can take action with something as small as a home inventory. In just 10 minutes you can use the camera on your smartphone to create a record of your belongings. Having this information could be life-changing if you ever have to file a claim with your insurance company!

 Tips for Taking a Quick Video Home Inventory:

• Using the video feature on your smartphone camera, quickly walk through your home and record what you see on the surface of each room. This could take as little as 10 minutes.
• If you have time, partner with someone to open cabinets and closets to record additional items.
• Organize your videos in a digital album using the photo app on your phone (Apple or Google Photos) so they are easy to find and share if you ever need them down the road! 

And if you're one of the lucky ones and still have time, I would love to save you time and stress by walking you step-by-step through the process of creating a video home inventory and organizing it in the cloud so you can have peace of mind knowing you’ve done all you can to prepare your home and family for the unexpected!
