What's an Inventory and Why Does it Matter?
HURRICANES AND WILDFIRES HAD RECORD-SETTING SEASONS IN 2021 and 2022, ACROSS THE U.S.
The threats posed by natural disasters are not going away. It's critical that everyone have an inventory, to prove what they have, if they experience a loss.
Ellen's Story
No one knows what life will bring...
My friend, Ellen, got the evacuation call during Katrina.
She packed a small bag for two days and left the house with her husband and 15-year-old daughter, who’d tucked her baby dolls into bed, covering them with a blanket to “keep them safe”.
They never returned.
Their home went completely under water when the levee broke.
Ellen spent an entire year trying to visualize and piece together everything that was in her home, on each wall, inside each closet and each drawer. All the pictures, baby videos, jewelry, clothing, prescriptions, critical documents – every physical asset was buried in the aftermath of the hurricane.
Ellen’s family didn’t have a digital record, a physical binder or even a list of their belongings, so their insurance paid them nothing.
Unfortunately, Ellen was the poster child of someone who didn’t have a home inventory and then suffered devastating consequences.
