Hurricanes Highlight Flaws In Emergency Preparedness Plans



Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have highlighted a serious flaw in the emergency preparedness plans of many families, small businesses and government agencies. Historically, people have relied upon local self-storage warehouses or banks' safe-deposit boxes to protect their valuables. However, it takes just one major disaster to show how vulnerable those facilities can be.

"We recommend storing your important documents and valuables out of state. That way, when disaster strikes, it won't be a total loss," said David Hughes, vice president of public relations at StorageByMail.com. "If it's not something you use every day or if it's irreplaceable, we strongly suggest you store it someplace other than your home or office. With StorageByMail.com we've made it easier than ever before to store your valuables in a safe and secure location while still having them close at hand."
