How to Prepare Your Home Office for a Natural Disaster

source: Thomas Good

No one wants to think about being in a hurricane, tornado, or fire, but bad things happen. While you may not know when a natural disaster is going to hit your home office (if ever), it’s important to be prepared to handle whatever comes your way.

Get it on film.

Videotape everything in your home office and the rest of your home. As you walk through your home, describe in detail everything you see. Start on one side of the room and work clockwise to make sure you film the entire room. Take the time to back up the video online.

  1. Hi Lisa,

    isn’t that interesting. A few weeks ago, I wrote exactly about this topic. I described exactly how I backup my data – once on an external drive automatically every hour, every 24 hours, every week and every month and once more online outside our house. It’s not only business-related information – we store thousands of photos and our entire music collection on our computer.

    I second you on your idea of filming the entire office or even house. Makes sense.

    Thanks for sharing your insights.

    Take care

    Oliver

    • Good point about photos! Many are irreplaceable. I upload my photos to Snapfish.com so I can organize photos by event.
