It’s something we never want to think about, but the reality is that disaster can strike anywhere and at any time. That’s why every September we take National Preparedness Month very seriously.
Whether we’re safeguarding against fire, flood, earthquake, or theft, now is the time to make checklists on what to do in the event of a disaster, form plans, make backups, and secure our valuables or irreplaceable items.
So many times we hear people say they wish they backed up their antique photos or didn’t wait until it was too late to scan them in. Send us your photos today to preserve these invaluable memories.
