Vital documents are the paperwork that in a moment of crisis proves the who, what, where, and when’s of our lives. When a natural disaster or medical crisis happens not only can we not trust our memory, but we need help too. Agencies, organizations, law enforcement, medical personnel need information to help us. This workshop will explain which paperwork to keep, how to organize it, where to store it, how to maintain them, and why it’s important to talk to your friends and family.
