There was a post some months back about a person who had seen some sort of document storage kit for all valuable records and financial papers -- QVC sold it and now I notice they have it back. I am not affiliated with QVC but this looks like a good idea for organizing your valuable records in one place if you need to grab them in a hurry.

you can search on the below item number at qvc.com

Suze Orman's Organize and Protect Financial System

perhaps a good idea for those who don't have their info stored on a usb device

That helps with organization, but it doesn't help with protection. There are two common ways documents are damaged. Fire damage and water damage. Usually if there is a fire than water damage also occurs. Many theives also target documents now for financial or personal information. For my home documents I bought a few of these.

I bolted them to the floor of my office closet (making sure to use a high temp sealant on the bolts) and put a steel door with a good lock on the closet's entrance. Combined with a good alarm system I feel my documents are well protected against destruction or disappearance. Besides that I have copies at a different location as a backup. I keep some stuff digital, but I like keeping paper copies.

I am the one that originally posted under "Waterproof Document Case", looking for Suze Orman's Document Storage. I actually finally found it after contacting the Orman organization. They directed me to www.hayhouse.com. Under search type "Ultimate Protection Portfolio". I ordered the kit and got a blue suitcase style document case that is suppose to be waterproof. I have not tried the waterproof feature because after I filled it with all of the documents that were listed on the file folders in the case, I could not get the case closed, and that is how it still sits today, with me trying to figure out what to do with All my "must keep with me all the time" documents. I suppose if I can whittle the documents down and get it closed it will make a great grab and go case. Did I mention it was also fairly heavy now. It also has the neatest little blue light on the front that I have no idea what it is suppose to do but it sure is pretty in the dark.

Seriously, if you are looking for a fairly heavy duty case to tote your important documents I would recommend it. It must be stated that I have no dealings or interest in this product or company other than using it for my personal use.


ONE DAY CLOSER

that blue flashing light is so you can find it in the dark and 'bug out'
