We are coming up on two years since I learned just how unprepared my wife and I are for a disaster. Hurricane Rita took a turn in the Gulf and was slated to make landfall right in our landfall, bringing a 25 foot storm surge to our neighborhood located less than 10 feet above sea level. We had to evacuate in a hurry -- and were lucky that the storm turned and went elsewhere.
I didn't know where the insurance papers were. Bank statements? Well, I think they are in the third drawer on the desk, but am I really sure? I was pretty sure the marriage license was in the wedding album. Refills and prescriptions for Paula's meds? Disaster supplies? I'd never given them much thought until just days before.
Frankly, I wish I had known about AxcessPoints months before the evacuation came. They are a disaster preparedness firm that can help you be ready, personally and professionally, for disaster to strike. They help you gather and electronically store records. They provide a safe source for you to store emergency contact information, so you just need to print out a list not create one from scratch. They enable you to store medical records -- including a list of medications and who prescribes them. They help you determine what you need in the way of disaster supplies, and remind you to rotate the stock -- who knew that bottled water expires? And the best part is that their services are less than $10 a month -- a very low price for peace of mind.
God forbid that you ever need to actually make use of the preparations that you make with AxcessPoints. May you never face fire or flood, earthquake, tornado or hurricane. But wouldn't you rather be ready -- just in case?
