According to numerous interviews with police and fire departments, photo albums are the number one possession that people regret losing in a flood or fire. The professionals recommend putting photo negatives or CDs in a watertight envelope and placing it in a fireproof box, or storing the material offsite – in a safe deposit box, for example. If you’re using an online storage system it’s still a good idea to backup all your files on CDs or a flash drive and then keep the CDs or flash drive in a fireproof or safe deposit box.
