Scanning for Survival - Insurance, Important Documents and Medical Information

Using your scanner can be valuable in many instances.

Stop and think of the poor people  in New Orleans and how they virtually have to start from scratch.  Think of what you would do should a distaster strike!

SCAN EVERYTHING, PUT IT ON CD'S AND MAKE THAT PART OF YOUR SURVIVAL PLAN!

Every important document you might need for insurance: Bills of Sale, Titles to your cars, receipts for major purchases, etc should be sacnned and safely stored in case you might ever need them!

Important documents, leases, Powers of Attorney, Birth Certificates, etc. must be scanned and stored securely should you ever need them!

All medical information, recent EKG's and other medical documents, doctor's phone numbers, etc should also be stored and secured!

In a recent class, someone made a GREAT suggestion - not only can you save this survival information on a CD (which  only costs a nickel), but, for convenience, you might want to store this data on either an inexpensive SD flash memory card (about $15) that might fit in your wallet, OR you might want to store the data on an inexpensive ($15) USB "Thurmb" drive that you can attach to a lanyard and wear around your neck!
