My family’s legal documents are being kept somewhere at home, and its kinda weird to think about, like zero security, I doubt its even fireproof, definitely not waterproof, some flood is gonna destroy it.

    What if you were to put a bunch of silica packets or beads in the safe? Or put an air tight container inside the safe

      You’d need a ton of silica gel, pounds of it, to capture steam as fast as it is generated. Your best bet would be a water tight, temperature resistant container like silicone bags for documents. I’d recommend a properly fireproof safe (read: $$$) or planning for potential losses for anything larger.

        Store your valuables in a waterproof bag hidden in your toilet tank. Can’t get destroyed to fire or flood.
