PRESS RELEASE: Munio offers free Memory Insurance to Big Lake, Missouri flood victims.

May 11, 2007
Seattle, WA - Memory Insurance provider Munio Memory Services, LLC, a Seattle based start up, today announced their intention to offer 50 free Memory Insurance policies to the flood victims of Big Lake, Missouri. Munio has also pledged to donate $25 to the town for each policy sold in the state of Missouri over the next 30 days. To take advantage of this offer Big Lake residents are encouraged to send e-mail to biglake@muniocorp.com or visit www.muniomemoryservices.com.

Co-founder and CEO Michael Droz, "The Big Lake flood hits home with me because I was born less than fifty miles from Big Lake in St. Joseph, MO., and I still have family in and around St. Joseph. I still can't believe that in less than a week we've had two towns almost completely lost to natural disasters in such close proximity. It's devastating to the entire country."

Memory Insurance is a new and unique offering that allows families to protect their memories (photos, children's art, documents and journals) the same way they do their homes, automobiles and personal property. Memory Insurance policy holders mail their memories into Munio for digitization and permanent and redundant storage through Munio's utilization of Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). Policy holders are provided with digital copies of their memories at the time of digitization and can receive additional copies in the event that their memories are lost or damaged as a result of wear and tear, gradual deterioration, natural disaster, inherent defect and mechanical breakdown, damage caused by insects or vermin, atmospheric conditions, confiscation, war, breakage and theft, divorce, legal separation or death.
