Fire Destroys 170,000 Law Firm Files
On July 26, 2006, the Grapevine section of the United Kingdom-based online publication The Lawyer.com reported on UK firms desperately trying to come to terms with the loss of 170,000 files destroyed in a massive east London warehouse fire. The publication noted that in the aftermath of the fire, one firm has new plans to convert all paper documents to electronic records.
The warehouse fire is another reminder. It could happen to you!
As morepartnerincome has previously noted, electronic scanning is the only way to realistically protect the contents of paper documents from destruction in a disaster. As a bonus, you gain all the other advantages of digitized information and images.
