How to Keep Your Writing Safe in a Disaster

We have seen horrible disasters in recent years. People lost everything--precious pictures and items which will never be replaced.
We cannot protect everything, but we can protect our writing and our pictures by following the below suggestions.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Computer
• Memory card or discs

1. If you have not done your writing on the computer, scan your writing into the computer. Scan pictures into the computer and sort according to person, vacation or pet.

2. Once you have scanned everything into your computer, download the writing onto one memory card or disc set, and the pictures onto another memory card. You can also join a photo site and download your pictures to the photo site. They will be there until you take them down. And you will be able to access them should you experience a disaster.

3. Make certain you duplicate discs or memory card. Keep one for yourself and then either send your copies to a friend or family member in another community, or if you are visiting, get a safe deposit box in their city in which you can store your writing and pictures.

4. If your area is in a disaster, chances are your friend or family members will not have suffered from the same disaster and your pictures and writing are safe.

Tips & Warnings

• Make certain you update as new things are written.
• Add pictures to your disc or photo site as you take them.
• Make certain when you choose a place to store your work and photos that you choose a place far enough away from you so that it will likely not be affected by the same disaster.
