Even though safe deposit boxes are designed to withstand natural disasters, it’s a good idea to put anything that could be damages by water into a waterproof container such as a zip-locked plastic bag. This adds another layer of protection and can also help you keep your safe deposit box more organized. And before stashing those important papers and photos, make copies to store electronically on your computer or in the cloud. Just be sure your family knows how to access them.
