The Story Behind HomeDataGuard

The concept for the HomeDataGuard Online File Cabinet was sparked by the founders’ personal experiences in the 2007 San Diego Witch Creek Fires and the impact it had on everyone they know. During that week everything shut down and the fires blazed throughout the County. They recognized that evacuees’ critical papers, photos and cherished items were being shoved into boxes and bags, and thrown in their cars as people hurried to obey the mandatory evacuation. The cars were parked on smoke and dust-covered streets, at risk from floating ambers and theft. Most people had to leave many items behind which they just didn't have enough time to pack and move.Subsequently, CDDS was formed to address the wide open gap in the market for a very simple, easy-to-use methods of securely organizing and preserving people’s most important and cherished information.

Our Goal:

Our goal is to make it very easy and simple to organize and protect your physical and digital records via HomeDataGuard’s online vault, and enable the retrieval of that information on-demand, from wherever there is internet access and a computer at hand. We’re doing our best to “bring real life to the web” with our 3-D user interface, so that even the least technical person can make use of it. We hope it makes a difference in people’s lives when it really counts.

My wife and I were on vacation when Katrina hit New Orleans. We were not allowed back into our City let alone our home. With no way of retrieving critical documents, our already distressing situation was compounded. We only wish that HomeDataGuard was available back then. Now we can leave and feel confident that we're covered with HomeDataGuard.com!

When we lost our home in the Witch Creek fires, one of the hardest things for me was not only the loss of my pictures, but my children's toothfairy notes (irreplaceable!). The HomeDataGuard File Cabinet is incredible...you can see and sense the item - a feeling like it's real when you look at it.

In late October, 2007, I witnessed firsthand the total destruction of more than 300 homes in Rancho Bernardo. The Witch Creek fire swept through middle-class and upscale neighborhoods alike, choosing the homes it destroyed at random. Residents had little time to evacuate, and firefighters were overwhelmed.
