President's Message
Dear Valued Client,
As we navigate through the complexities of modern life, the importance of safeguarding our vital documents and possessions cannot be overstated. Here at SafeGuard Solutions, we understand the challenges that come with organizing and securing these crucial assets, which is why I am personally reaching out to share my three-step approach to help you start getting organized.
Step One: Preparation
Before diving into the task of organization, it's essential to take a moment to mentally prepare yourself. Whether you're naturally organized or not, many of us find ourselves hesitant to tackle such tasks simply because we don't know where to begin. Take a few days to contemplate the whereabouts of your documents—are they scattered throughout your home, or do you have them neatly stored in one location? Once mentally prepared, choose a stress-free day to kickstart the process.
Step Two: Gathering and Sorting
The next step is to gather all your important documents and items, separating them from the less critical belongings. Imagine the unthinkable—a fire or water damage—and consider which items you would want to survive such circumstances. Your checklist should include essential documents such as social insurance numbers, passports, insurance policies, legal documents, property records, and medical records, among 'many' others.
Step Three: Secure Storage
With your documents and items gathered, it's time to place them in a secure fire and water-resistant storage box. By centralizing and securing everything in one location, you gain peace of mind knowing that your vital assets are safe and easily accessible when needed. However, it's important to note that while this three-step, ten-point checklist provides a solid foundation for organization, SafeGuard Solutions employs a comprehensive +60 item checklist in our process to ensure that all your documents and important items are meticulously organized and maintained.
At SafeGuard Solutions, our mission is to simplify the process of document organization and security, providing you with the tools and support you need to protect what matters most. If you're ready to take the next step towards greater peace of mind, we're here to help.
Thank you for entrusting SafeGuard Solutions with your document organization needs.
Together, let's create a safer and more organized future.
Warm regards,
Joseph Petraglia
President, SafeGuard Solutions
Tips
4 TIPS ON HOW TO DECLUTTER YOUR IMPORTANT FILES AND GET READY TO GET ORGANIZED
First Step: Gather all your documents and sort them into three piles: [Keep- Recycle - Shred].
Second Step: The documents you plan on keeping should be placed in properly labelled file folders.
Third Step: Place the file folders in a fire and water resistant secure box
Fourth Step: Call a shredding company (such as Iron Mountain) to shred your papers and documents that are no longer needed.
If you're not comfortable in completing Steps 1 to 4 on your own, call SafeGuard Solutions that specializes in coming to your home to organize and properly store your documents, collectables, etc.
Additional Considerations
It’s a good idea to place other items in the same secure box. Items such as: a copy of your friends and family phone numbers, Jewelry, collectables and in case of death your preferences and wishes for the ceremony.
Twice yearly, back up all your important documents, correspondences, etc. in your home computer and save to a USB Key. This way if you have water damage or if someone steals your computer you have a backup file. Remember, place the USB key in the same secure storage box
