bob/shtf documents

[dmftoy1]

Ok, been working over the bob and adding what I previously didn't have. (contact info and document copies). I've added the following:

1. Contact sheet with numbers for everyone in the family and an order to call and give a status. (also lists meeting spots).
2. List of all companies we pay bills to, account #'s, and contact phone #'s.
3. List of all the banks where we have money or credit and contact phone #'s.
4. Copies of Passports, ss cards, and vehicle titles
5. Contact info for doctors, dentists, health insurance, and home/auto insurance.

All of this is going into the bob in both hardcopy and electronic form. In electronic form only I've got backups of all our statements, etc. (Cleaned out the filing cabinet a year ago and converted everything to scanned images)

Anyway, I got to thinking. Should I have info like the serial #'s on all my guns? I'm not sure i want those in writing, but in the event of theft or some other loss it might be good to have.


What else am I missing?

Oh yeah, forgot to add. I've got copies of all the birth certs too.

Everyone in the family will have the contact sheet, but the copies of dox will ONLY be in the bob.

Yes, by all means record your firearms' serial numbers. This will be essential to provide to the police if they're stolen: and, also, to make an insurance claim (assuming your policy covers firearms). I'd also include proof of ownership - either a photograph of each gun, or a copy of the purchase record.

I think these documents are the most important part of any BOB.

Some other things to think about -

Copies of insurance documents.
Copies of prescriptions for the medications in my BOB (Zithromax and 5mg Oxycontin.)
A couple of long-distance phone cards.
A letter of credit from your bank.

Something else to consider....Quicken 2005 has a feature that allows you to inventory the contents of your home with attached photogrphs that you download from your digital camera. You can then burn the whole file to disc and throw a copy in your BOB. Might make things a lot easier when it comes to proving ownership for insurance settlement.

Any important medical information, such as ongoing cancer treatments. I watched a story about several kids with cancer who were having trouble with thier treatments because all thier medical information was lost and the doctors couldn't be found.

Ready.gov has a few good documents to help with this.

First is the EFFAK (Emergency Financial First Aid Kit).

Next is a call sheet.

Have a good one,
