Emergency Kit for Paperwork
Keep an emergency kit with copies of the following documents. I suggest that you store the originals in a safe-deposit box at your bank, or as a safety precaution, in a secure location at home. However, your emergency kit should be accessible in the event of a natural disaster or emergency situation such as a fire, etc. You may also want to make a backup of all copies on a CD or USB stick and include them in your kit as well. Keep your paperwork in a waterproof plastic freezer bag preferably in a fireproof box. (Note: Some sources recommend you should keep the original documents with your kit.)
