May: Important Documents

We tend to forget before a disaster about the financial considerations that follow. Will you need to file an insurance claim? Will you need to apply for financial assistance? Will you need to find new housing? Will you need to get advanced medical care? All of these considerations will require quick and easy access to documents that could be inaccessible after a disaster or destroyed by it.
