It is always a good idea to plan for disasters. This is a review of the website that helps you do exactly this. Here is the description from the author itself:

AxcessPoints is a secure online planning resource that helps individuals and families better organize critical personal, medical and financial information and minimize the impact of a natural disaster.

Most of us probably are very cautious when we sign up for new tools, especially when there is a fee. This site allows us a 30-day free trial without giving out our credit card information, so I signed up for an account. After providing some basic information (email, date of birth, name and addresses), I was able to get an account instantly without getting those usual confirmation emails.

After looking through, the account basically allows us to store all our emergency contacts, medical histories, and other information like our insurance information. Another feature in the site helps us build an emergency kit by giving us a checklist of what is really needed depending on how many months of supplies we want to store.

Apart from the account, the website also has a very comprehensive library section that talks about many different topics relating to preparing on disasters. This is a must read for everyone because we can never gain enough knowledge of preparing for disasters.

Overall, this site provides many articles of disaster related materials and also a way for us to organize our information for an online disaster toolkit. Check it out at AxcessPoints.
