WMBF News reports that MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - Hurricane season is here, and the Better Business Bureau is reminding you that preparation now can save time, money, and stress later.

Before a storm is on the radar, make sure your most important documents are secure and accessible.

BBB recommends backing up current insurance paperwork, passports, and other forms of identification in a secure digital or physical location.

It’s also a good idea to create an inventory of your belongings.

Walk through your home or business, take photos or video, and keep receipts for major purchases.

Store that documentation somewhere safe—ideally outside your home.
