How will I be able to recall the contents of my home if it is destroyed?

It's recommended to detail all of your possessions in a list, and also to create a video or photographic record of them. Storing your inventory in a safe-deposit box off your property or in a lockable, fireproof storage box in your home is advisable. Such documentation will help you prove ownership in the event of theft in addition to making the process of filing a claim easier and more precise. Another wise method is to videotape or photograph the damage prior to beginning cleanup, so you can help prove the extent of damage quickly and accurately.
