Lesson from Katrina: Scan your photos

Submitted by Laura on March 18, 2008 - 18:09.

One thing we learned from Katrina - of all the things people lost, I think what broke their hearts the most was losing decades of family photos. Scan them, make a disk to take with you if you ever have to evacuate, and as an additional backup, send a few copies of the disk to relatives out of state who will enjoy having the photos in any event.
