With expensive jewelry, electronics and sports equipment on many wish lists, gift recipients should add one more item to their holiday to-do’s: A household inventory.
An accurate, up-to-date inventory is the best way to speed the recovery process after a burglary, fire or catastrophe, but many people see the process as daunting. Free software available from the Insurance Information Network of California simplifies the process.
Created by the Insurance Information Institute, the “Know Your Stuff” software takes the homeowner or renter through every room, providing streamlined documentation of clothing, electronics, appliances and other items that may be easily overlooked. It also provides for digital photos and scanned receipts, contracts and appraisals to be incorporated into the inventory.
“After you finish your holiday shopping, it’s time to write another list – your home inventory,” said IINC Executive Director Candysse Miller. “The Know Your Stuff software takes the guesswork out of the process.”
The free software can be downloaded from the IINC web site at www.iinc.org or at www.knowyourstuff.org . The electronic inventory can be stored on digital media, placed on personal web space or e-mailed, protecting it in cyberspace so that it can be located in the event that the computer is stolen or damaged.
The Insurance Information Network of California is a non-profit, non-lobbying media relations organization supported by the property/casualty insurance industry.
