tory you can maintain on your home computer or
better yet, an offsite home management website such
as MyHomeWorks (available thru carriers offered by
Baughman & Associates). MyHomeWorks allows you
to manage your home’s assets, hi-tech devices AND
household inventory (in the Cloud), where it is eas-
ily accessible in case of a home disaster. Receipts and
product information (manufacturer’s model and serial
numbers) are all helpful in proving ownership.
In the last forty-three years, our agency has experi-
enced only one total loss. Our office was notified by
the Sheriff ’s Department of an electrical fire around
11:30am that morning. The family was not at home.
Monelison VFD arrived and began putting out the fire
just prior to my arrival. The fire had spread so quickly
that only a corner of the home was left standing. The
family Bible (in a desk along the wall) was untouched!
Given our claims response training, the company was
notified as I made my way to the scene. An adjuster
arrived as the family returned to the home. A recovery
strategy was formulated. The family was immediately
moved to a local motel, fed and then taken to the mall
to purchase clothing and necessities. While the family
was shopping, the local pharmacy filled and delivered
the necessary prescriptions. The family was back at
the motel by 5pm and settled in for the evening.
That day (and many days following) had the poten-
tial to be chaotic to say the least. Fortunately,
planning allowed the recovery process to proceed in
an orderly fashion, thus reducing some of the stress felt
by the family.
