Document Preparedness

Don't Panic, Prepare: Complete Document Preparedness Checklist

When crisis hits, you need to prove three critical things: who you are, where you belong, and what you own. This comprehensive checklist ensures you and your family are prepared with all essential documentation organized and accessible.

Created by Kimberly Knight from the "Positioned with Kimberly Knight" podcast, this practical guide covers 8 complete categories with over 60 specific document types you need to protect your household. Like the Proverbs 31 woman who didn't fear the snow because she was prepared, you can face uncertain times with confidence when your paperwork is in order.

What's Included in Your Checklist:

• Financial documents and account information
• Legal identity and citizenship papers
• Medical records and healthcare documentation
• Vehicle and property ownership documents
• Educational credentials and employment records
• Insurance policies and contact information
• Digital technology and online account backups
• Emergency preparedness and family documents

Each category includes specific items to gather, plus clear instructions on storage methods - both digital and physical copies in separate locations.
