How Digital LifeCloud® Can Protect Your Important Documents from Any Hurricane, Tornado and Earthquake
Advice on How to Avoid the Paper Chase After a Natural Disaster
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The recent wave of natural disasters is a reminder that the days of storing things in a cardboard box or your desktop computer are dangerous and everyone needs to have an emergency preparedness plan that includes protecting important papers and documents in an online system such as Digital LifeCloud® (www.DigitalLifeCloud.com).
"There's no file cabinet that could have survived the devastation of Hurricane Harvey or Irma," says Debby Bitticks, CEO of Vital Options International and co-founder of Digital LifeCloud®. "I like to think of it as the Swiss Army knife of secure and easily organized storage. Everything from your medical records and insurance policies to tax returns and photos of your children can be properly stored and accessed 24/7 anywhere in the world."
Bitticks, having battled health issues and survived California earthquakes, created Digital LifeCloud® out of her own growing needs. Both she and her sister Selma Schimmel, founder of Vital Options International, battled breast cancer, their father and her father-in-law had Alzheimer's disease, and her husband Guillain-Barre Syndrome/CIDP. She was a caregiver for all four, while juggling the demands of raising four children and three stepchildren.
"Natural disasters are especially hard for older adults," Bitticks points outs. "Few, if any, have gone the extra step to create and discuss a plan with family members or plan for how to recharge essential medical devices or refill life-saving prescriptions. And, unfortunately, doctors and hospitals only have the records on services they provide. These silo systems, however good, don't provide the same capability of you owning and controlling your own records in Digital LifeCloud®. By pulling your vital records from everywhere they can then be immediately accessed for a complete picture of your health. It is perfect for second opinions and any emergency."
"Dorothy The Organizer" and face of A&E's Emmy-nominated hit TV series "Hoarders" echoes similar sentiments. "Health insurance, cards, medical records, living wills and medical powers of attorneys are the necessities of modern day living."
The world-class organizer, whose tips can be found on Digital LifeCloud®, advises to start small and keep the organizing sessions brief. "For those overwhelmed by the thought of organizing documents, I emphasize its simplicity, as well as the gratitude you'll feel later when you can easily access these records from your mobile device," she says.
According to Lynn Benson, MSW, co-founder, keeping Digital LifeCloud® affordable and easy-to-use was the aim when they launched the service. "The monthly fee for the service is roughly the cost of one Starbucks' latte and pastry. This is the perfect system for the "Sandwich Generation" of people caring for parents, grandparents, children, and other loved ones."
