Protecting your photographs before and after the storm.

Being prepared is the best thing you can do before hurricane season begins.

• Have your family photo collection scanned to a CD/DVD.
• If you have not had this done, place your photos in ziplock plastic bags.
• Place photos in a rubbermaid or tupperware box and place the container up high in case of flooding.

• If you have to evacuate, take them with you. If you do not have room for them (in your car) when you evacuate, put them in a ziplock bag and store in your dishwasher and lock it. It's the only place in your home that is waterproof. This is a tip from a friend in New Orleans. Thanks Mary. :-)

• Should your framed photos become water damaged, leave them in the frames. Taking them out may damage the photo if it has stuck to the glass.
• Do not scan a wet, moldy picture, it will damage the scanner.
