Storing the EOMO system is an important decision.
Some factors to consider are:
- Accessibility – Handy for periodic review, update and decision-making
- Safety – Protection from fire, flood, damage and loss
- Security – Safeguarding from theft, misuse and tampering
- Delegation – Sharing with loved ones/trusted agents (Delegates)
- Store documents that are important, difficult to replace, and or need to be secured from fire, theft, and water damage.
- A Home Safe Box is a water proof, fire proof and theft proof container. Keep in mind that home safe specifications vary as do their level of protection. Be an educated consumer. As with most things, do some research and get informed before purchasing and selecting the location of your Home Safe Box.
