Add to this, keep a copy of those scans on the micro-SD card in your
cell phone as well. Most people evacuating will have their cell phone
with them and it's easy enough to find an adapter to print copies from
the micro-SD if needed. You can also readily get one of the very tiny
USB flash drives and keep it in your wallet. Add to that, keep your
important stuff as pics on your cell phone as well, a good pic of your
DL on your cell phone is probably sufficient in an emergency.


If you lose your cellphone,then others have your personal information.
It's not uncommon for people to lose their cellphones.


I've had a cell phone since 1990 and I've never lost one.

you could save your data on a SD card,as many PCs have card reader/writers
or can accept one in a USB port. Then the SD card can be put in a secure
location.

I wouldn't like the lump from a USB drive in my wallet,a SD card would be
slimmer. BTW,wallets get lost or stolen too.
I guess you'd have to use encryption.


There are flat USB drives available that are around the size of a
mini-SD card and the same thickness.
