SOUTHWEST FLORIDA - With hurricane season already off to an active start, there's a web service you should know about. A Florida company called MyDocuSafe will store pictures of all of your belongings in case a disaster hits or you get robbed.

Up high, down low, behind and inside every appliance, piece of furniture and valuable item in your home, professional photographers document all of Bill Bogar's belongings in case he ever needs a record of it.

Bill's car was recently burglarized, and it was then he decided to call Mydocusafe. "I couldn't even figure out exactly what was in my car before to see if anything was missing, and that made me think about what's going to happen if something happens to my house. I'd never be able to put it all back together,"Bogar says.

MyDocuSafe keeps an on-line record of everything Bill owns, away from thieves or Mother Nature.

Florida resident Stephen O'Connor created the company after he lost everything during Hurricane Charley. "This is something you want to do prior to a storm. This could happen anytime. If you have fire, loss, water damage,you need to be protected." O'Connor says.

Having a record of what you own makes it faster and easier to get an insurance claim paid. MyDocuSafe has new technology to allow your insurance company to see your on-line file as soon as you call. MyDocuSafe also has new technology called "Twin View" that allows your insurance company to log on to your account, so long as you OK it.

"For instance, it'll ask you for the date of purchase, category, where it is in your room, purchase price, what it costs to replace it, your deductible if you know that, then a description of it," O'Connor explains.

But that's not the only bonus to backing up your belongings. You can also have a permanent place for priceless pictures.

"I feel a lot better having taken the measure to go ahead and get it all done," Bogar says.
