SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH

Written By Kevin McKernan

Everyone, from individuals to organizations and businesses, can start now by:

  • Securing and duplicating essential tax and financial documents

  • Creating property lists

  • Knowing where to find information once a disaster occurs

Start Securely: Taxpayers should keep critical original documents inside waterproof containers in a secure space. These include tax returns, birth certificates, deeds, titles, insurance policies, and other similarly important items.

Make Copies: If original documents are available only on paper, try scanning them into a digital file format. Saving them in a secure digital location, like a cloud-based storage application, can provide added security and portability.

Document Valuables!

Employer Fiduciary Bonds: Employers using payroll service providers should check if their provider has a fiduciary bond in place to protect the employers against a possible provider default.

Know Where To Go!
