Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Grab-N-Go
Box™? |
The Grab-N-Go Box™ is a complete system for organizing and securing what you
cannot afford to lose. A sturdy, locking steel box brings all of your important papers together in one place, so
your vital documents are instantly accessible when you need to "grab and go" in an emergency.
|
| Is the Grab-N-Go
Box™ for my home or my business? |
The Grab-N-Go Box™ is designed for use in your household. Its purpose is to give
you and your family the ability to focus on loved ones and pets in an emergency, by enabling you to easily
organize, safeguard, and grab in an instant all of your important papers and information.
|
| What comes inside the Grab-N-Go
Box™? |
The Grab-N-Go
Box™ comes with 66 pre-labeled folders for all of your most important documents, envelopes for small items such
as keys and identification cards, 35 forms for your vital information, and an accompanying CD loaded with
templates of each form. In addition, a comprehensive printed guide walks you through use of the files and forms
in three easy steps.
|
| Do I really need all 66 folders in
an emergency? |
The 66 folders are the researched, comprehensive list of all the vital
information you may need to have with you if you have to leave your home. In an emergency, you will utilize
those folders that apply to you and your circumstances.
|
| Is the Grab-N-Go
Box™ heavy? |
The Grab-N-Go
Box™ is designed to be carried with one hand, if necessary, in an emergency. When filled with all of your vital
documents, it will weigh approximately 20 to 24 pounds. It has a comfortable handle in the event you should need
to carry it over some distance.
|
| Is the Grab-N-Go
Box™ fire proof? |
Since fire-proofing would make the Grab-N-Go
Box™ too heavy to carry, the box is instead designed to fit inside a one-hour UL rated fire safe. Fire safes can
be ordered through the Preparedness Products section of our website. The
Grab-N-Go Box™ is weather
resistant due to its solid, steel construction.
|
| How do I use the CD with the Grab-N-Go
Box™? |
All of the printed forms that come with your Grab-N-Go
Box™ are also included on the CD. Simply complete the forms on your computer, and then print them out and file
them in the folder with the same title in your Grab-N-Go
Box™. Save the completed forms on your computer for easy updating. Store a backup CD of your forms in your Grab-N-Go
Box™.
|
| Is the Grab-N-Go
Box™ just for emergencies? |
No, it is also a gift to your loved ones. Often times when a parent becomes ill
or passes on, children are left to search for important documents, even in the midst of their grief. By putting
together your Grab-N-Go Box™
now, you are preparing both yourself and your loved ones should anything happen to you.
|
| Should other people have access to
information in my Grab-N-Go
Box™? |
Everyone in your household should have access to this critical information. Even
children can be shown how to access information such as what medications are being taken, what allergies people
have, or whom to call in an emergency.
|
| Should I place original documents
in the Grab-N-Go Box™? |
Yes, the Grab-N-Go
Box™ is meant as a place to safeguard your original documents. Exceptions may include documents you choose to
keep in a safe deposit box, legal documents that are with your attorney, or tax documents kept with your tax
preparer. In these cases, you would store a copy in the Grab-N-Go
Box™.
|
| What if family members are not at
home when a disaster strikes? |
Since you may be away from your Grab-N-Go
Box™ in an emergency, the Preparedness Products section of our website
offers two free wallet cards to be filled out and kept with each family member. The wallet cards hold emergency
plan contact information, and personal and health information.
