Devastating fires or floods – they seem almost commonplace today.

The news down South about the tornadoes in April and the flooding of the Mississippi this month has caused many Americans to wonder “are we next?”

What would you do if your life suddenly changed in a moment?  How can you even prepare for a catastrophe? Do you have your own “risk management” plan for your home and family if tragedy should strike?

A new tool from the Insurance Information Institute called Know Your Stuff® - Home Inventory is a free, online home inventory software application available here: http://www.knowyourstuff.org

Using “cloud computing” concepts, the application helps you create and update a home inventory with ease. Free, secure online storage means that you can access to your inventory anywhere, any time.

The application allows you to keep the information on hand and update it regularly so that you can easily provide it to your insurance company and restoration company should a disaster strike or a burglary occur. Having this information prepared and stored remotely on secure servers ensures that nothing is overlooked when you present your claim. The best part: your information will be accessible from any computer, even if your computer is destroyed.

You never know when a disaster may strike. But you can be prepared with an up-to-date home inventory so you can help your insurance company and your restoration company help you get back what might have been lost or damaged.

And remember, if you need help after a fire, flood, or sewer back up, the professionals at PuroClean Emergency Recovery Services are ready to assist 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 877-750-7876
