SOS Scanning Service

Having a digital backup of your most important documents is critical for a smooth recovery after a disaster.
While physical copies in a waterproof container are essential, digital versions on a secure cloud or encrypted drive ensure you can access vital info even if your home is inaccessible.

•Essential Documents to Digitize: Identity & Vital Records: Scan birth certificates, social security cards, passports, driver’s licenses, and marriage or divorce papers for everyone in your household.
•Property & Ownership: Save digital copies of your home deed, vehicle titles, lease agreements, and recent tax returns.
•Medical Information: Keep copies of health insurance cards, a list of current prescriptions (names and dosages), and immunization records.
•Insurance Policies: Digitize homeowners, renters, auto, and life insurance policies, including contact info for your agents.
•Financial Records: Store a list of bank, loan, and credit card account numbers with institution contact information.
•Pet Records: Don't forget your pet’s proof of ownership, vaccination records, and current photos.
🏠Items to Save Digitally:
Home Inventory: Take photos or videos of every room in your home and your most valuable items. This is vital for filing insurance claims later.
📸Family Photos: Scan irreplaceable family photos and mementos to protect them from physical loss.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Contact List: Keep a digital list of emergency contacts, including family, doctors, schools, and utility companies.
🚨Emergency Plan: Save a copy of your family emergency plan so everyone knows the meeting spots and communication strategy.
🛟How to Store Them Securely:
☁️Encrypted Cloud Storage: Services like Google Drive or Dropbox offer accessible storage, but ensure your account is protected with a strong password and two-factor authentication.
🔑Password-Protected USB: Store a secondary backup on a password-protected flash drive and keep it in your emergency go-bag.
➕Updates: Review and update your digital files at least once a year, or every six months, to keep records current.
