The 'In Case of Emergency' Folder: What to Put Inside
Everyone says 'get organized.' We tell you exactly what files, scans, and codes need to be in your digital 'Red Folder'.
The "Red Folder" Concept
In the analog days, this was a red folder in the fireproof safe. Today, it's a secure digital folder.
The Checklist: • ID Scans: Passports, driver's licenses, birth certificates (for everyone in the family). • Insurance Policies: Health, life, home, auto. Policy numbers and support phone numbers. • Deeds & Titles: House deed, car titles. • Medical History: Vaccination records, allergy lists, current prescriptions. • The "Master Key": Instructions to access your password manager.
Where to Store It
- Local Encrypted USB: In your physical safe.
- ZeroLatch Vault: Upload the archive (encrypted) to a vault that releases to your spouse/executor.
This ensures that if your house burns down (destroying the physical safe), the digital copy survives. If the internet goes down, the physical copy survives.
