Natural disasters, accidents and simply the passage of time has always threatened our most cherished family heirlooms. But digital media now provides a safer, faster, more affordable method of preserving old photos, vintage film or video footage, one-of-a-kind audio recordings, personal records, and other unique archival material. An entire lifetime of memories can fit on a single DVD and everyone should considered investing in this hedge against losing them for all time. It also makes sharing those memories so much easier. You're also right about distributing extra copies via disc and/or online. That's because no one physical location is ever going to be 100% safe and secure. Family photo-sharing websites with built-in FTP services are particularly good for this. In the short-term, best wishes to you and your family in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike.
