Losing One's Home to a Natural Disaster
- Check your insurance coverage. If you’re at all unsure about what your renter’s, homeowner’s, or car insurance policies cover, check with your insurance agent to go over exactly what’s protected.
- Make sure your emergency fund is healthy. Your pantry isn’t the only thing you should keep well stocked; having extra funds readily available in the event of a true emergency may spell the difference between financial stability and chaos.
- Minimize unnecessary spending. The last worry you want after an emergency is a high credit card balance. Take steps now to reduce or eliminate your debt so you’ll be able to put all available resources toward your recovery.
- Store and back up important documents. As part of your financial record-keeping system, store copies of important papers such as: bank, brokerage, mutual fund, and retirement plans, mortgage, auto, and other loan statements, deeds and titles to real estate and vehicles, and insurance policies somewhere secure, such as a safety deposit box.
- Create a list of financial contacts. Make a list of contacts you’ll need in case of an emergency (insurance agents, bank account representatives, etc.) and keep at least one copy off-site but easily accessible--stored in a secure online mail account, in your safety deposit box, and/or with a trusted friend or relative.
