First Gov.Gov - a valuable resource:

www.firstgov.gov includes 14 sections of information on topics such as health, money, jobs, education, environment, consumer guides and much more. In this newsletter we are focusing on three of the sections which provide information on emergency preparedness, replacing vital documents and travel.

1. Are you prepared when an emergency strikes?

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other state and local government agencies are working hard to protect and prepare our nation for emergencies. The Public Safety and Law section of www.firstgov.gov, provides guidance on how to prepare for disaster situations as well as information on what to do after a disaster occurs.

The Vital Records PortaVault is the perfect solution for emergency disaster planning. It is designed for situations that would require you to transport all your documents easily should you need to evacuate your home quickly due to a natural disaster.

Visit our website for more details on the Vital Records PortaVault.

2. Information on Replacement Documents:

The Family, Home and Community section of www.firstgov.gov includes a link to the CDC website which provides information on how to contact the various state agencies in order to obtain replacement birth, death and marriage certificates.

3. Want to learn about the country before you go:

The Department of State's Consular Information Sheets are available for every country of the world. They describe entry requirements, currency regulations, unusual health conditions, the crime and security situation, political disturbances, areas of instability, and special information about driving and road conditions. They also provide addresses and emergency telephone numbers for U.S. embassies and consulates. In general, Consular Information Sheets do not give advice. Instead, they describe conditions so travelers can make informed decisions about their trips.

Go to the Travel and Recreation section at www.firstgov.gov for more detailed information on everything that you have to do before and while you travel abroad or within the country. Be sure to check out this site before you plan any major trip out of the country.

The exact number of pieces of paper your completed Vital Records PortaVault will hold depends on the characteristics of the records and documents you store in it. The Vital Records PortaVault will easily accommodate a family of four that does not have multiple properties or lengthy business agreements or a complex financial situation. Additional consideration should be given to the length of a living trust, if you have more than 50 pages worth of trust documents, you may need the double case set.
