Having a list of photos your home and its contents has never been more important... but having the time to create one can be overwhelming. This is the place to come to either learn to do it yourself or find someone to do it for you!
My friend, Ellen, got the evacuation call during Katrina.
She packed a small bag for two days and left the house with her husband and 15-year-old daughter, who’d tucked her baby dolls into bed, covering them with a blanket to “keep them safe”.
They never returned.
Ellen spent an entire year trying to visualize and piece together everything that was in her home, on each wall, inside each closet and each drawer. All the pictures, baby videos, jewelry, clothing, prescriptions, critical documents – every physical asset was buried in the aftermath of the hurricane.
Ellen’s family didn’t have a digital record, a physical binder or even a list of their belongings, so their insurance paid them nothing.
Unfortunately, Ellen was the poster child of someone who didn’t have a home inventory and then suffered devastating consequences.
