<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2535808, member: 76194&quot;]I&#039;ll be very brief because I&#039;m in the middle of putting up shutters as Mathews, (Category 4) is appearing to shift closer and closer to where I live every time there is an update...</p><p><br /></p><p>I thing it was [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] who raised the question yesterday of disaster preparation and ancient coins. I have to admit that I did not take it seriously as it seemed like Hurricane Mathews was not a big deal at the time, but here is what I&#039;m doing for the part of my collection that I have at home at the moment. I don&#039;t live in a flood area, but just in case, I moved a&nbsp; water resistant fire safe to my walk-in closet and raised it 3 feet further up the ground with a chair, and put the coins I have at home in it, wrapped in shipping material (in case the safe falls there is something to absorb any impact, and on top of that I added some thermal resistant material in case of a fire. I&#039;m also going to be unplugging all electronics off the walls in the next few hours to reduce any risk of a fire.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other coins are high off the ground in a bank vault, and the bank is also not in a flooded area, so I guess those are as safe as they can get.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any additional ideas or tips to protect my coins at home would be welcomed. But make it quick. I don&#039;t know how much electricity or internet I may have in the next 48 hours, especially in the next 20 hours when conditions start to deteriorate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
