our recording PROCESS proves ownership, property condition, and current value.

Most Floridians have been placed on tropical storm, flood, or hurricane alert, or have personally experienced one or more of these weather events every year.
Many fully-insured homeowners in Florida have thought about documenting the contents in their home either on paper, by photography or video, usually at the start of each hurricane season. "Most homeowners neglect to prepare proper documentation. They procrastinate, doubting that their possessions will ever be destroyed*" They hang on to the belief: "It won't happen to me!" *Ref: Superior Court Justice Blenus Wright
Lest we forget Hurricanes such as; Andrew (1992 - Cat. 5+), Charley (2004 - Cat. 4), Wilma (2005 - Cat. 4), and Katrina (2006 - Cat 5+) just to mention a few. Far too many insureds devastated by the affects of those hurricanes believed the very same way and did not recover as successfully and completely as possible.
FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), State & Local Governments, Insurance Carriers, Law offices and News Medias strongly advise all homeowners to: "Document your household contents for insurance purposes before a storm strikes."

VIDEO PROPERTY ARCHIVES™' DVD’s enable instant recall to document the proof of ownership, condition, and current value of all your recorded personal property at the touch of your mouse or remotely from your DVD player. It's similar in scope to a computer's file back-up process which guards against permanent data loss.

YOU MUST BE ABLE TO PROVE YOUR LOSSES TO YOUR INSURER.

Losing your possessions and not being able to prove to your insurance company that you ever owned them is the logic behind maintaining video documentation of your real and personal property. Property and Casualty insurance carriers, financial/risk managers, and attorneys highly recommend current video documentation should you suffer a loss.
The aftermath of a hurricane, flood, fire, or burglary is tragic enough without the anxiety of uncertain recovery from your insurance company. Have you considered how much time, effort, and expense it would take, if even possible, to recall and record in detail all the valuable contents and amenities in your home.
It's human nature to experience a heightened level of stress and be ill-focused following a catastrophic loss. A claims adjuster assisting homeowners following Hurricane Katrina (Cat-5+) in 2006 exclaimed; "Post Disaster loss recall of personal property averages less than 60%". Strikingly, when testing recall of homeowners who did not experience any losses, results revealed they forgot as much as 40%.

The Insurance Commissioner for the State of Maryland stated the following in a 2008 public press release, "Documentation and communication are the two keys to a smooth recovery from your insurance company, along with a little patience." Moreover, a video of the damaged area will assist the insurance company in their investigation of your claim.
The Honorable Justice Blemus Wright stated: "Once a fire destroys possessions, it is difficult to determine true value of the possessions without documentation, which hopefully has not been consumed by the fire. Persons with possessions of above-average value ought to be aware..."

The more accurate and compliant your claim records are when you contact your carrier regarding a loss, the quicker and cleaner your recovery will be.
Annually review your homeowner's insurance policy with your agent to insure you're adequately protected against loss. Ask about replacement value options that may be available to you.

Note: Documenting your personal property for your insurer would be a daunting task without a current video DVD to reference. It's a very small investment, moreover, a peace of mind that you retain a current professional DVD video recording of what you own.
