Links are great but BW's actions below are a great suggestion
If you're personally at risk from Irma, the perfect way for you to spend Sunday is doing what many in Houston now desperately wished they had done.
Take your digital camera, go room to room in your house, open every cabinet, and take pictures of everything you own. Get all the furniture and rugs, all the knickknacks. Get close enough to record the make and model of electronics. Spread out your iThis and iThat and take a picture. Do it in the garage and any outbuildings. Get inside and outside shots of the house in general.
Don't do this with your iThingy unless you have the ability to move masses of pictures off it easily.
Then take all the shots, zip them up, and save them. That means send the zip file to family members across country, or to friends, or upload to the cloud. There are services that will send large files, if your zip file is too big for your email.
If you get hit by a storm, you won't have to struggle to remember all the stuff you have, as you meet with the insurance adjuster.
