Scan documents to a free drive

EMERGENCY INFORMATION COUNCIL

The Emergency Information Council (EIC) will hold its ninth free vital document scanning event on Monday Jan. 19, from 1:30-3 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 3. Residents can bring their wills, stock and membership certificates, medical power of attorney documents and other important papers to be scanned onto a free thumb drive.

Driver’s license and credit cards will be copied and then scanned as well. The documents will be converted into a convenient form to easily fit in emergency go bags or given to relatives to ease locating the information.

The EIC will also have a waterproof canister to store the drive and a fireproof bag to keep original documents safe for those who make a donation. Residents who have previously scanned documents onto a drive can bring additional documents to be scanned onto their drive for free.
