Agency Go-Kit

Another great way to start the year off with preparedness is to take the time to review the contents of your “Agency Go-Kit” – or create it if you don’t have one. This simple kit can allow you to take your most vital operations off site if you have to leave. Each one should include (copies when appropriate):

• Your disaster plan
• Insurance documentation
• The deed or lease for your facilities
• Legal identification, such as your taxpayer ID number and evidence of exemption status
• Bank information, including all of your account numbers, including personnel contacts
• Documentation for your emergency line of credit
• Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs)
• Contact and Emergency Contact information for your staff and key contacts
• Some cash, including coins for phones
