The hurricane season is in full throttle. While Gustav and Hannah weren’t as fierceful as they could have been, preparations are in full swing as we are bracing for Ike. It also appears that a lot of the painful lessons learnt from Katrina had translated to better preparedness, be it the more organized evacuation or the use of technology to be able track all the evacuees. Natural disasters like these remind us that we can never be too prepared. Our thoughts and prayers go to victims of the hurricanes.
Digitizing important documents (such as statements, pay stubs) ahead of time, and keeping only critical documents (such as passports, birth certificates etc,.) in a small weather-proof box that can be easily carried with you, would be a good idea.
In our own small way, we would like to make a difference. From now through the end of the hurricane season, we will give two months off of OfficeDrop for anyone whose mailing address is in the hurricane prone states of Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. We know you would have more important things on your mind, so you may treat the first two months’ envelopes as “All you can send”, and don’t have to worry about page limits. No special action is necessary. The promotion will automatically be applied upon registration at OfficeDrop.
If you have friends, family or near and dear that can benefit from being prepared for the rest of the hurricane season, please spread the word.
It’d be really nice if you added this information to your sign-up page. Not everyone reads your blog. When I signed up this weekend and was concerned because I saw next payment due in two months as well as saw an authorization for the full amount, I was concerned and confused. This basic info (that you’re not charged until after the trial and that you’re running this promotion for folks in the hurricane zone would be helpful if it were explained on signup as well as your blog.
Thanks. I look forward to trying out OfficeDrop and writing a review of my experience for my readers.
