Photograph all your material goodies. They can be replaced easily enough by
your insurance coverage. Paper documents and other valuables should be
stored away from the house, preferably in a safe deposit box at a local
bank. This is also a good place to stowaway your CD/DVD backups of family
history data.

Don't fight it, Mary. It's bigger than the both of us. :-))
