It’s important to think about natural disasters, like hurricanes and tornadoes, in advance so you’re prepared in the event they happen.

This includes safeguarding your tax forms and other financial records. Take advantage of electronic recordkeeping. If you own a business, make sure you create a plan for resuming operations after a disaster.

The IRS has disaster loss workbooks for both individual taxpayers and businesses to help you create a record of what you owned before disaster struck.
