At The Restoration Now! in Omaha, we want to make sure you know how important it is to be prepared in the event of an emergency. This includes having a disaster plan and taking a home inventory and saving it in the cloud on your computer so you will always have it. If a disaster does happen then having an inventory of all your possessions and the worth of them will be extremely helpful when you contact your insurance company.

Online storage is becoming more and more popular. You can purchase a scanner and upload all your important documents, not only to your computer but to cloud storage; that way you can access it from any computer. However, it doesn’t have to be used for just important documents–you can also use cloud storage for important keepsakes, such as photographs or memorabilia.

What to Include in an Inventory

To create a home inventory, you will need to go through your residence room by room and make a list of all your valuables, the number of each item that you have, and the estimated value. Our fire, water and mold restoration team at Restoration Now! Omaha has provided you with a list of valuables you want to make sure to include in your inventory. It would also be very helpful to have receipts for any of these items to help verify their value (make sure to upload those to the cloud as well). Here’s a list of items that you may want to include in your inventory.

• Tools
• Jewelry (wedding rings), china, gold, silver, crystal
• Electronics
• Appliances
• Equipment used for any sports
• Any furnishings
• Gardening tools
• Clothes
• Antiques/ collectibles
• Valuable paintings
• Keepsakes
• And anything else you deem important

After you have typed out descriptions of all your valuables and put them in a safe place online, also take pictures of each item to catalog as well. All of this may sound to be a daunting task as of now, but you will thank us if something were to happen. Some insurance companies even have the ability to upload your photos right to their website for review. The hassle free process will be a great experience, especially if you call our restoration team Restoration Now! Omaha because we will deal with your insurance company for you!

Note: Be sure to store all your important documents in one place.
