It’s always a good idea to keep important papers in a safe place such as a safe-deposit box or in a fireproof, waterproof, and burglar-proof home safe. This is even more important during emergencies when you need information in a hurry. Sometimes, though, such papers are lost, stolen, or destroyed. . A class on Emergency Preparedness in Recordkeeping was taught to older residents in Kenton County by the Kentucky State Area Specialist for Family and Consumer Sciences. Topics covered included locating important papers, where to file, temporary files, permanent files, and how to replace those lost or stolen papers.
A lively discussion yielded personal testimony of instances of trying to locate and how to file financial records. Several question were raised that required further investigation and networking with professionals to obtain answers. A follow-up survey will be mailed in three months to help determine usefulness of shared information , skills gained, and changes employed.
