Preparing for emergencies
Which items to save
Remember: No item of property is worth losing a life over
Apart from family members, what else in your home would you want to save? This could be:
- documents including insurance, birth and marriage certificates or passports
- photographs
- a piece of furniture
- a favourite toy or baby blanket
By considering now what you would like to save, you can take prompt action to protect it. You could:
- copy documents and photographs and ask someone to look after them
- prepare to precious items upstairs or up high to prevent water damage
- consider purchasing a fireproof/waterproof container for special items
