Complete easy, inexpensive and fun how-to instructions. Have you ever lost a cherished possession that was dear to you in an earthquake, hurricane or fire? Porcelains that broke, a book that was ruined by water or photos that were burned or blown away? What are you afraid of loosing in the next "big one"? Or has someone ever thrown away a "worthless" treasured item important to you! This book, written by Your Preservation Coach, is your manual for protecting your family's heritage. The author has been involved in a dozen "major" disasters: earthquakes (Silomar 1971, Whittier 1989 and Northridge 1994 and two in Italy), 10 fires (Santa Barbara 1990, 2008, Oakland 1993, 2 in 2009) and one flood and massive deadly mudslide (Santa Barbara 1995, 2019) and has spoken numerous time in Gulf State hurricane country. Though people loose homes, cars, toys etc., by far the items for which I hear the most crying are the things that make up a person's family history... things that cannot be replaced with insurance money. There is almost a spiritual identity that people feel for the items that help tell their story to their other family members about their parents and their ancestors. These items tell the family's legacy. I remember when Joan Rivers was talking to Dorothy Adams of Conservation Materials Ltd. about Quake Wax on QVC TV and among the hype, hustle, lights and make up (she wore a lot!!... can we talk!?) there was a moment when Joan softened and became emotional when she realized that had she used this product, she would have saved a dear ceramic keepsake from the Northridge Earthquake. She became really quite emotional about an item that was worth very little money. Why? Because it told a heartfelt story. So it is with the photos, letters and certificates, portraits and lots of other "stuff" that may be unceremoniously dropped on you after Auntie passes on (of course, there are the lucky ones that inherit something valuable too). Whether you're a collector or you're old enough to be an antique yourself, there are lots of hands on, how to instructions in this book that will help you to protect and preserve your stuff. God bless you for taking your preservation and organization project to heart. Preserving your family's treasured items that tell your story will benefit more people than just you. Acknowledged widely by disaster response experts in earthquake country, hurricane country, flooded out communities, in museums and in government offices... as the best easy-to-understand-book to discover how to protect your valuable collectibles and treasure family heirlooms before a disaster and how to save your stuff after a disaster.
