Right off the bat, I want to establish the importance of creating an emergency jump drive.

In my short time on earth (over four decades), I have evacuated, abandoned, or deployed from seemingly safe places more times than I can count.

Each time I needed to take important documents with me so that I could prove who I was, justify re-entering a disaster zone, or because the original documents were destroyed.

It’s not just because of my job experience either.

Many of those times were evacuations with my parents as a kid and then later as an adult parent with my own kids.

I grew up in Myrtle Beach SC, and evacuating from hurricanes was a way of life and happened just about once every hurricane season.

First, let’s go over some other reasons you need a back-up. Then we’ll cover what goes onto your emergency jump drive. To wrap up, we’ll talk specifics about the type of jump drive and where to keep it.
