Being prepared in case of a natural disaster isn’t something that’s always on a family’s mind…but it should be! From forest fires to floods and earthquakes to severe storms, there’s no way of knowing what kind of unexpected event might cause damage to irreplaceable items. That’s why having a home safe is a must, and the SentrySafe SFW123TTC Extra Large Digital Alarm Fire Safe is my personal top pick for keeping important documents and items secure in case of emergency. But what should go into that safe? Personally, the four items in this video are ones that I think should always be kept secured, yet ready to grab when needed.

Tweet about what items you’d protect in an emergency using the hashtag #MasterLockProtectsSweeps and Master Lock will donate $1 to the American Red Cross.

Protect Valuables from Theft, Fire and Flood with the SentrySafe Alarm Safe-Giveaway

January 23, 2015 by Kathryn 417 Comments

When I was young, the basement in our house once flooded quite badly. I don’t remember all the details but I do remember that so many important things were ruined, from personal documents to papers from my parent’s law practice to cherished memorabilia. For years after that, if we needed something and couldn’t find it, the assumption was that it had been destroyed when the basement flooded.

That event really helps me understand now, as an adult, why it’s so important to protect valuable and important items from the unexpected. A flood is only one of the risks that can threaten a house and I want to know that our most cherished possessions are safe from harm no matter what. So I was thrilled when I was given the chance to review the SentrySafe Alarm Safe.

This digital safe has all the features I wanted to help keep important items safe. It’s been tested to survive in a fire of up to 1700 degrees Fahrenheit for up to one hour and is verified water resistant for up to 24 hours in as much as eight inches of water. But that’s just the start of what makes this safe such a perfect choice for a family! [Read more…]
