This is in case of any natural or man-made crisis resulting in a need for evacuation or a major disruption of day-to-day services. Part of this emergency kit is what I would call a digital bug out bag. It includes: • copies of personal documents • cell phone with chargers or extra batteries • family and emergency contact information Many if not all of these copies should be physical. But paper documents can easily get destroyed by floods, fire or collapse. They can be lost or stolen and in case of theft, your paper documents are not encrypted and they could be abused for fraud; which is the last thing you want to think about in a crisis. Having a secure digital backup gives you an additional fail safe if all else is lost. Hopefully you will never be in a situation where you need this. But it’s always better to be prepared because this can save you the precious seconds that might be decisive in an emergency situation. So in this short tutorial, I will guide you through the process of creating an encrypted digital backup on a microSD card, how to securely copy and store your files and how to protect it from theft, loss and physical elements. I will also extend this tutorial to include emergency items and apps that could help you better navigate through a crisis situation. This won’t take long so let’s begin. I chose a microSD card for this purpose because it is the most versatile storage medium for a digital bug out bag. Technically, a USB flash drive will be the most widely accepted standard among any modern computer, laptop or even mobile devices.
