I was thinking about this over the weekend as I talked to my neighbor whose basement was one of 400 homes in my neighborhood that flooded in a recent downpour.

Quicken has come out with a Home Inventory Manager product for under $30 that allows you maintain a record of household possessions in order to back up a claim. You can even drag and drop scanned images of photos and receipts into your file to back up your claims.
For $10 per year, you can back up your list online.
