Most of us are well prepared in case of another natural disaster.

At least when it comes to ourselves or our stuff.

But what about financial records, both for individuals or business owners?

High River Chamber of Commerce President Steven Muth says it may not be a flood that gets you next time.

"Buildings unfortunately catch fire. Sprinkler systems break. So, both personal and business owners need to think about the unthinkable. Unfortunately most people just don't think it'll happen to them."

As part of "Emergency Preparedness Month," Muth and the Better Business Bureau suggest offsite storage of tax, or business records, in case another disaster befalls you.

The Better Business Bureau offers these tips:

BBB recommends including the following materials in your financial first-aid kit and emergency plans:

Pack personal documents. Have copies of your Social Insurance Number, birth certificate, passport and other personal documents on hand and securely stored.

Create a contact list. Have the names and contact information of your family, close friends, employer and will-executor on a single document.

Have copies of your insurance. Copies of your homeowner, auto, medical, life, disability and other insurance policies as well as policy numbers should also be included in your emergency kit.

Find your finances. Find out your bank, investment and credit card/loan account information as well as institution names, phone numbers and account numbers to include in your kit.

Have copies of your properties. Car information, proof of home purchase papers/titles/deeds and other home inventory items.

Back up your back-ups. Keep both digital and hard copies of all important information and store it securely. For digital files, use an external hard drive to back up sensitive information. For hard copies, keep files in a secure place off-site, such as a safe deposit box or locked safe. If you must share any information with others, only share with a select few who you know and trust.
