I am going to post this here once. This is for future reference for those that live in a "zone". This is not for Houston, cuz it is too late for the poor bastards. So, If you are reading this, take note and copy this.
WTF to do before a major storm hits you and The Government will step in to help you rebuild. . What do you need to do? As a former disaster assistance worker, I can tell you FEMA and Small Business Administration( SBA provides low interest loans to home owners affected by a disaster) will need your deed (found in closing documents), a copy of your flood insurance, a copy of home owners insurance, your social security numbers, your drivers license. Two years copies of your tax returns. A copy of your most recent pay stub. If your own a business 3 years tax returns or copies since your business started if less than 3 years. If you own a business provide your most recent financial papers. Car registrations and if you own a manufactured home registration of that home. Other things birth certificates, marriage licenses. Put them in a box you can easily carry away with you if you have to evacuate.
That is all.
