I learned years ago that it is better to be proactive - than reactive. It is looking at the big picture and putting into place - steps or items that will ensure you know what to do if an emergency or disaster occurs as well as serves as a form of protection.

One should always be proactive with their home. Some good examples of being proactive is having home owners insurance, installing fire detectors, placing security lights around the outside of your home, installing sump pumps, having a survival kit, etc. While none of these will prevent damage or theft to your home - you are ready and the moment something happens - you don't need to try and figure out what to do.

A home inventory serves the same purpose. You are immediately ready (proactive) to provide a detailed list of what was damaged or stolen to the insurance adjuster along with proof of ownership - which is required for each insurance claim. This not only allows your claim to begin immediately but ensures you receive the maximum settlement reimbursement.
