Kovels' Dealing with Disaster

How To Protect Your Collection From Theft, Fire and Natural Disasters and How to Handle as Disaster If It Strikes

No one is prepared for a major disaster like the floods caused by Hurricane Katrina or the California forest fires or Florida’s Hurricane Andrew. Calamity can happen anywhere. This is a step-by-step guide about how to prepare for an emergency, like an evacuation, flood, fire, hurricane or burglary.

It will help you and your family overcome the emotional and physical problems created by disaster. It tells what to do before you have a problem (put together copies of legal papers, like social security numbers, drivers licenses, credit card numbers, passport, insurance policies, and more), who to contact immediately after the disaster (insurance company, local fire and police departments, clean-up experts and friends to help). How to handle the first day of a loss—the first week after a loss—and what you need to settle insurance claims quickly. What you can and can’t do with cleanup to be safe (don’t go near an electrical wire).

Be ready to learn the answers to these tough questions:

  • What do I do first if my house is damaged by fire or flood?
  • How do I keep my valuable collectibles safe if a hurricane or flood is headed my way?
  • How do I make my household burglar-proof?
  • Do I need a home safe?
  • What do I need to prove I owned anything stolen or destroyed?
  • What is the best kind of security system for me and my family?
  • Will my local fire and police department and government agencies help?

      So be prepared. Protect your family and your home with the information you need before there is an emergency.
