Learning from the Taxman

April 15th every year, taxes are due in the U.S. To help people file successfully, many types of support are widely available from a diverse array of service providers: free forms and instructions at local libraries; seminars from tax attorneys; community workshops; helpful websites; free software; assistance for low-income filers; and constant reminders of the filing date. Although less universally familiar, many types of support are available to assist in preparedness as well. Make sure your community is aware of the many organizations and programs that can help them get prepared. You could post links on your website, create handouts and fliers, put up phone numbers and URLs, invite speakers, or forward announcements to your email lists. Connect your community to the preparedness support infrastructure.

Backing Up Your Data

On November 26, 1973, Rose Mary Woods (President Nixon’s personal secretary) testified in federal court that she accidentally erased 18 ½ minutes of the Watergate tapes. With no backup system, this potentially critical data was lost forever. Losing critical information due to human errors and disasters can cause great financial loss, create breaches in trust and otherwise undermine your efforts to serve your community.

Check to see that key organization and personal information — especially computer files — are adequately backed up. Have one or more places off-site to store data; invest in jump drives or other alternate storage devices; and ensure that your files won’t be lost if a single system or network goes down. Always make sure all crucial data exists in multiple places.
