COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Carrie Mitchell designed her company, Together We Stand Home Inventory, to help prepare residents in Colorado Springs prepare for the worst. Whether it be natural disaster, fire or robbery.

"I started this business because I saw a need when the Waldo fires were going on," said Mitchell. "And I had people that were evacuated that were staying with me..also had friends that lost everything. Basically we go into the homeowners house. We go room to room. We measure things. We detail descriptions of the major things in the house."

That detailed list is used to report for insurance or police claims. And with speculation of flooding in Colorado Springs this coming summer, Mitchell stresses the importance of being prepared.

"What I always tell people is, how many...can you remember what you have? Can you go to a closet and and say what's in that closet? We don't remember what's in that closet. But if you lose everything you have to reenact that. Come up with it and show proof of it."
