Hurricane Preparation Advice 
Conducting a Home Inventory
Conducting a home inventory is one of the best ways to recover from hurricane damage. It allows you to keep a record of what you own which will simplify the process of sorting through damaged items should you need to file a claim.
Ways to Conduct Your Home Inventory
Move from room to room recording the value of each of your possessions. It is also helpful to keep track of model numbers and stores where you purchased each item. Here are methods you can use.
- Notepad and camera - as you take photographs, write down the details of each item.
- Video camera - this is an easy method because you can narrate the details of each item while videotaping.
- Personal computer - personal finance software packages often include a home inventory program.
Tips on Conducting Your Own Home Inventory
- Make sure you record the contents of closets, drawers and cabinets. The value of little things can add up quickly
- Store all lists, photographs and videotapes in a safe place off the premises. It is a good idea to keep back-ups as well.
- Update your home inventory. After making a significant purchase, be sure to add the information to your home inventory while it is still fresh in your mind.
- Keep all receipts, especially for big items such as jewelry, artwork and collectibles. Also keep in mind that valuable items may need separate itemized insurance coverage. Check with your agent.
