We live in a time where we all have Digital Devices regardless of age, each situation is unique and therefore the scope of the “Digital Go-Bag” will vary based on your needs. In addition to the components needed to Protect, Maintaining and Operate one’s digital devices have you factored in?
- Your Household: Immediate family (Parents, Siblings, Spouse, Children…)
- Do you have one or multiple “Digital Go-Bags“ ?
- Power of Attorney (POA): Limited, General, Durable, Medical
- Agent or the Principal, do you have access to the documents needed ?
- Power of Attorney (POA)
- Medical (Directives, History, Medications…)
- Contacts (Doctors, Lawyers, Family, Business, Personal…)
- Identification (Personal, Business, Passport, Social Security…)
- Financial /Legal (Accounts, Bills, Insurance, Deeds…)
- Agent or the Principal, do you have access to the documents needed ?
- Devices: Digital Security. Do you have and maintain ?
- Passwords, Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). Virtual Private Network (VPN), Firewalls, Antivirus Software, Encryption…
This may sound paranoid but once one experiences an Emergency it makes perfect sense. What do you do if: You do not have access to your “Original Documents” or your “Secure Cloud Backups” because Cell Service and/or the Internet is down. Hence the “Encrypted USB Flash Drive”.
