Learn the insurance inventory, home documentation & financial records your family needs before disaster—plus how the SBA assistance process
What would you file a claim for if your house burned down tonight?
Most families couldn't answer that question with anything more specific than "everything." And "everything" is not a number your insurance company will accept.
About This Workshop
Join Brandi Richard Thompson, former federal emergency management official with more than 20 years coordinating disaster response for over 50 million people, for a free 60-minute live session on the gap that costs families the most money after a disaster: documentation.
In her federal career, Brandi watched thousands of families file disaster assistance applications with the same problem. They knew what they lost. They just couldn't prove it. No serial numbers. No photos. No receipts. No updated beneficiary forms. No idea what their deductible was or whether their policy covered the thing that actually happened.
Your insurance policy is your disaster paycheck. But most families have never read theirs, don't know what it excludes, and couldn't locate it in an emergency if they had to. The families who recovered fastest weren't the wealthiest. They were the ones who could hand an adjuster a binder and say, "Here's everything you need."
This session will show you how to become that family.
What You Will Learn in This Session
- The difference between what you think your insurance covers and what it actually covers, and the one call that will tell you
- Why most home inventories fail, and the 20-minute method that actually works during a claim
- The five documents every family needs in one place before a disaster, not after
- What FEMA can and cannot do for you, straight from someone who sat on the other side of that desk
- How the Operation Prepare Document Vault and Insurance Master File work, and where to start tonight
Who This Is For
- Homeowners who have never read their full insurance policy and know they probably should
- Renters who assume their landlord's insurance covers them (it doesn't)
- Families with important documents scattered across drawers, folders, and "somewhere on the computer"
- Anyone who wants to be able to prove what they own before they have to prove what they lost
After the Workshop
Attendees will receive a special link to download the Operation Prepare Starter Kit (free) and a limited-time offer on the full Family Legacy Binder system.
