About MyDisasterPlan.com

MyDisasterPlan.com's mission is to make disaster preparedness planning simple, secure, and affordable for all families.

The founder of this website, Patrick Krupka, was a paramedic and firefighter in Houston, TX early in his career. Patrick personally witnessed the devastating consequences encountered by the victims of house fires and natural disasters. He saw how people who were suddenly homeless, and had no money, no ID, no fresh clothes, and no where to go but to an emergency shelter, struggled to rebuild their lives.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Patrick decided that there had to be a better way to secure one's documents and information in order to speed recovery after a disaster. He planned a simple, affordable, and secure solution to help families and called it MyDisasterPlan.com. The website launched in August, 2006 and has been offering disaster preparedness planning and secure online storage of vital documents ever since.

Patrick, now a chiropractor, is dedicated to helping families protect themselves from disaster. He lives in a Houston, TX suburb with his wife and young son.

3. Do I have to answer every question?

No. We designed our software to accommodate as many different situations as possible. Our questionnaires are thorough. You can answer as many of questions as you want, and skip those you can't answer or don't want to answer. Keep in mind, however, that the more information you enter, the more you'll be able to access in an emergency.

4. How often can I update my information?

As often as you want! You have unlimited access to your account as long as it's current. You can access, print, download, or update your information as often as you like.

5. Does your staff have access to my information?

No. We can access the registration information used to create the account, and if the account is not renewed, we can delete your account. But we do not have access to the information you've entered in your storage fields.

6. Does your service keep my property from being damaged or lost?

No. Our service helps you recover faster after a loss. You can access backed up copies of your important personal documents, such as your ID, work ID, banking, mortgage, and medical insurance information, etc. and use the copies to prove your identification, and order replacement documents from issuing authorities.

7. What if I don't have a digital camera?

If you do not have access to a digital camera for pictures of your home, simply take pictures with a film camera and ask for a photo CD when you have the film developed. We recommend that you have them developed at a reputable developer as they will be seeing all of the valuables in your home. Then, use the CD to load the pictures into your computer and access them using the "Browse" option during the information entering process.

8. What if I don't have a document scanner?

That's no problem. Take your documents to a print shop such as Office Depot or Kinko's and have them create digital copies on a CD.

9. Is this insurance?

No. We recommend that you have adequate insurance for the possible hazards specific to your geographic location and personal situation. MyDisasterPlan.com provides you with secure online storage of your personal documents and is not an insurance plan.

10. Can you guarantee that my insurance company will accept my reports from MyDisasterPlan.com as proof of ownership or prior condition?

We cannot guarantee that your insurance company will accept the information you've entered into our secure storage site. You should check with your insurance company. However, most insurance companies ask homeowners to inventory their home furnishings, jewelry and other possessions (cars, boats, etc.) in order to provide proof of ownership prior to a loss.

Our convenient home inventory reports are organized conveniently to show a photo of the item (taken by you) as well as the make and model, serial number, and other important identifying information that you provide when you set up your home inventory report. Armed with this information, your insurance claims will be much easier to file.

11. How does your service differ from a home inventory service?

Most of the available home inventory services do not incorporate the following services offered by MyDisasterPlan.com:

1. ID and disaster plan modules
2. Unlimited updates
3. Report flexibility

Our easy-to-use service is a secure and affordable solution.
