SECURITA LAUNCHES VITAL RECORDS PORTAVAULT

Portable Record-Keeping System Centralizes Critical Personal, Financial And Health Records For Disaster Recovery, Daily Use

LOS ALTOS, Calif., October 11, 2006 – Securita Inc., a provider of innovative solutions for organizing critical personal information, today announced the Vital Records PortaVault™, a unique record-keeping system designed for consumers in disaster-prone areas and those interested in better organizing their lives.

The Vital Records PortaVault™ is a lightweight, binder-sized portfolio made of durable canvas that stores hundreds of pages of paper documents and records, as well as information saved on CDs and DVDs.  The PortaVault includes a custom-designed zippered pouch that holds cash, keys and small keepsakes, and features a water-resistant cover.  The sturdy handle and shoulder strap make the PortaVault easy to transport and carry at all times.

The PortaVault enables individuals and their families to aggregate in one place vital information needed to recover from a natural disaster or other types of emergencies.  The PortaVault also serves as a convenient repository for vital records for daily use and is ideal for adult children who care for elderly parents. The PortaVault can be purchased at www.securitaonline.com

“After I saw victims of Hurricane Katrina being evacuated with nothing but the clothes on their backs, I realized how unprepared many people are when a disaster strikes,” said Sherie Dodsworth, CEO of Securita. “The thought of gathering and organizing important documents can be overwhelming, but the Vital Records PortaVault simplifies the process by providing an easy, step-by-step solution that minimizes the time involved.”

According to a recent survey by major insurance companies, only 38% of homeowners in hurricane-prone areas in the Gulf and Atlantic coast communities stored important documents in a safe place. Only 37% made an inventory of their personal possessions.

Organizing System Simplifies The Process

The PortaVault provides easy-to-follow instructions to identify and collect important legal, financial and medical documents. The PortaVault comes with a series of pre-printed, color-coded labels that correspond to a series of category dividers: Planning & Contacts, Identification & Family Records, Health & Medical, Finance & Property, Insurance and Estate Planning & Taxes.  Documents are placed into plastic record protectors that are then inserted into the appropriate section in the three-ring binder.
The PortaVault holds:

  • Passports, birth certificates, Social Security cards, diplomas, pet information
  • Tax returns and insurance policies
  • Wills, trusts, and retirement documents
  • Bank and investment information, mortgage documents, vehicle records
  • Medical histories, drug prescription information, immunization records
  • Inventories and photos of household items
  • Emergency phone list and contact information.

“The PortaVault is not only a terrific organizing system, but also creates a wonderful opportunity to discuss financial and other issues among family members and with elderly parents,” Dodsworth said.  “The PortaVault creates peace of mind from having your most important documents readily accessible and is a gift to your extended family in case of an emergency.”

The PortaVault provides a wealth of additional information for consumers, such as: resources to help obtain records and information from public entities; a form to inventory household possessions; pre-printed health history cards, which include prescription information, an emergency planning guide; and Family Communications Plan cards, which list phone numbers and emergency meeting places.

Dodsworth, a Certified Public Accountant who has more than 26 years of experience in finance and accounting for private and publicly traded companies, launched Securita in 2006 to make a positive contribution to
local communities.

“I founded Securita to help educate people about the pro-active steps they can take in advance of an emergency and to be more organized and productive each day,” Dodsworth said.  “As part of our commitment to local communities, a percentage of each sale of the PortaVault will go to non-profit preparedness and relief organizations across the country.”
