September is National Disaster Preparedness Month, and it couldn't come at a better time.

Hurricane season is harsh this year. It should be a reminder to all of us to be prepared! We may not experience full hurricanes, but there are plenty of other disasters that could strike on a personal or national level. Don't let a fire, tornado, or flood catch you off guard. First, make a plan (ready.gov). Second, get a kit (redcross.org/store). Third, be prepared.

We would love to help you prepare for a disaster. For example, we can organize your important documents and computer files, declutter your space, take a home inventory, and organize and scan your photos. To reiterate, don't be caught unprepared!

Picture Keeper®

Are your photos backed up to another device? If not, Picture Keeper is a great option for you. First, backup is simple. Just plug the Picture Keeper into a USB port or phone charging port. Then, click the "Start Backup" prompt. The computer backup goes to work automatically, seeking out and storing your family photos. Also, there's no need to install software, select folders, or drag-and-drop files. Picture Keeper does all the work for you.

SentrySafe®

In addition to Picture Keeper, SentrySafe is a wonderful product that protects tablets, phones, external hard drives, memory cards, USB drives, CDs, DVDs, and other electronic storage devices. This durable safe also keeps important files organized and protected from fire and flood, like medical and business records and financial paperwork, to name a few.
