In case of an emergency such as a fire or burglary, your personal belongings are at high risk of being destroyed or stolen. That’s why it’s important to stay prepared by keeping valuables and sensitive documents in a locked safe. Serving residents throughout Tacoma, WA, the professionals at Robblee’s Total Security offer an impressive selection of residential and commercial security equipment, including alarm systems, cameras, and safes.

Below, these security experts list a few items you should keep in your safe in case of an emergency:

• Personal Papers: Important documents such as birth certificates, social security cards, insurance policies, and passports should always be kept in a safe if they are not on your person. If someone were to steal these documents, you could be a victim of identity fraud. They are also quite difficult to replace—especially if you need them to make a claim after a natural disaster.
• Legal Documents: In addition to personal papers, it’s also important to keep your legal documents safe. This includes living wills and powers of attorney. If something should happen to you, these documents are crucial to providing protection for the rest of your family.
• Property Deeds: If you bought your property within the last 20 years, you don’t have much to worry about. However, deeds attached to older properties should be left in a secure safe.
• Jewelry & Family Heirlooms: Keeping jewelry, gold, or family heirlooms around the house is not safe, even if they are insured. Storing them in a safe will shield them from danger during a burglary.
