As lawyers, we never miss an opportunity to dispense some free advice during a time like this. Keep your important documents safe when facing a natural disaster like Hurricane Ian!

Nonetheless, you should try to keep with you, in your hurricane preparedness kit, critical documents, such as:
1. Insurance Cards;
2. Deeds;
3. Social Security Cards;
4. Insurance Policies (Automobile, Homeowner’s, Renter’s Coverage, etc.);
5. Your Will and other estate planning Documents;
6. Your Driver’s License;
7. Passports;
8. Birth Certificates;
9. Immunization records;
10. Marriage Certificates.
It is also important to keep at your fingertips your bank account and credit card information and passwords.
Most importantly find safe shelter and stay safe!
