Kovels Offer Tips for Dealing with Disaster
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A new special report on how antique collectors and others should prepare for a disaster or robbery
CLEVELAND – September 5, 2007 – The Kovels today released their new special report on dealing with disaster, “How To Protect Your Collection From Theft, Fire and Natural Disasters and How To Handle a Disaster If It Strikes.” The 36-page report covers evacuation plans, emergency kits, what information you need about insurance policies and claims, theft and fire prevention, clean up after a fire or natural disaster, and more.
The Kovels’ report gives collectors a blueprint for preparing themselves for any disaster. It outlines simple, basic steps that collectors should take that could save them hours of anguish and tens of thousands of dollars.
“Following the two-year anniversary of hurricane Katrina and the more recent widespread flooding in Ohio, the specter of disaster is fresh in the minds of many collectors,” said Terry Kovel, publisher of “Kovels on Antiques & Collectibles” newsletter. “Our research has found that many collectors are just not adequately prepared for disasters. Collectors face some challenges that are unique to collecting antiques & collectibles. This new report is designed to help them address those challenges as well as to give them some basic survival guidelines for getting through a disaster.” It answers questions like:
- Have you planned where to meet your family if forced from your home?
- Why do you need replacement insurance for your house and collections?
- Why may old door locks invite burglars?
- How do you landscape with safety in mind?
- When do you see the doctor after a fire or flood?
- How do you earthquake-proof displays of collectibles?
The new report is now available for purchase on-line at www.Kovels.com/store.
