Prepare Documents to Ease Emergency Evacuations

Staff Report / sjlocal.org

In San Jose, California, the San José Fire Department emphasizes the importance of organizing personal and financial documents in preparation for potential disasters. Ensuring these documents are up to date and easily accessible can significantly reduce stress during an emergency evacuation.

Residents are encouraged to photograph their important documents with their phones and store physical copies in a waterproof container. This way, crucial information is easily retrievable when needed.

For additional resources on disaster preparedness, individuals can visit www.ready.gov. The initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance financial readiness and overall safety for the community.
