The recent floods in Australia and Brazil are reminders that bad things can happen anywhere and at anytime. A little over a year ago, streets and homes flooded during the "dry season" near my home. Yes. Things just happen.
The sentimental things may be the last things you'll remember as you go out the door during an evacuation. Why risk forgetting and losing your favorite photographs and the important documents that you may need after a catastrophe? Include photos and docs in your family's evacuation plan. Better yet, remove the risk by digitizing the items that you may miss and storing them on a portable flash drive or on the cloud at an Internet website.
Now is a great time to organize your old and new photos. Augment your 2010 Holiday photos with scanned copies of Christmases past. It'll be great to see the photos of the kids when they were little again. Okay, so you've added a few pounds since your photo using 35mm film, but can you think of better inspiration to take them off?
