The hurricanes of recent months should teach all of us many lessons. One lesson concerns preparedness; waiting until a hurricane is bearing down on you is not the time to start planning! Even those of us outside the "hurricane belt" are not immune from disasters. Other parts of the nation face tornadoes, wildfires, flooding, and other threats. Some years ago I remember watching a television news story from California when a reporter interviewed a woman in front of her burning home during a wild fire that leveled the entire neighborhood. The woman was obviously crying and, when asked about her losses, she moaned that she had lost years of genealogy work in the flames.
Of course, anyone can suffer from a burst water pipe that ruins documents, photographs, fabrics, and many other precious items.
