Create an emergency backpack
It’s vitally important to have an emergency kit, a backpack, equipped with basic items (bottled water, food, clothing, medicine, a torch) that you'll need if you have to leave your home in an emergency situation. This should be kept somewhere in the house where everyone can get to it if needed, including young children.
Transfer all your financial and asset data to a memory stick or the Cloud
Although the transformation to the digital age has made great progress in our country in recent years, there are still many of us who insist on keeping our financial information on paper. This is a habit that could prove to be disastrous in cases of extreme weather events, making it a critical need to digitally save records such as birth and marriage certificates, tax returns, insurance policies, and so on. A USB memory stick, for example, although tiny, can be used to store masses of information — so it could be used to keep all your valuable data. The same applies to the Cloud. That way, you need never fear that your financial and other data will be lost, while you you'll save time and effort by not having to get related documents and certificates reissued.
Keep a Digital record of spaces and objects
Some objects, beyond sentimental value, may have financial value too. So, to be able to confirm that you are the actual owner of objects and property in the event of some kind of natural disaster, it would be a good idea to have them saved in digital form on your mobile or camera. You could do this for both your home or your business property, digitally capturing interiors and exteriors.
Open an account that you can use in an emergency
Saving funds, especially in times of inflation, is a challenge. However, the money you save can be used in the event of natural disasters. One year's savings could provide you with a solid financial cushion. And it would be good to keep your savings "locked up" in some way so that you’re not tempted to make withdrawals for other reasons. In emergency situations, cash savings come in handy too.
Get insured with the right insurance plans
Insurance is an effective weapon in the fight against climate change. Compared with the rest of Europe, Greece continues to be relatively underinsured against natural disasters, which makes it hard for households and businesses to return quickly to normalcy after a natural disaster. To this end, NBG offers insurance plans, specially created by Ethniki Insurance to protect both your family and your property.
