Press Room - SoCal Wild Fires

PRESS RELEASE: Munio offers free Memory Insurance to residents of San Diego and Los Angeles Counties effected by wild fires.

October 24, 2007
Seattle, WA - Memory Insurance provider Munio Memory Services, LLC, a Seattle based start up, today announced their intention to offer 500 free Memory Insurance policies to the fire victims of San Diego and Los Angeles Counties. Munio has also pledged to donate $25 to the LA Times Family Fund and KTLA Charities Fire Relief Campaign for each policy sold in the State of California over the next 30 days. To take advantage of this offer residents are encouraged to send e-mail to califire@muniocorp.com or visit www.muniomemoryservices.com. Munio will kickoff their relief campaign by donating $500 to the charity by November 1st, 2007.

Co-founder and CEO Michael Droz, "The SoCal fires have been and continue to be a devastating event for families living in the area. I've been personally touched by the stories of families searching through fire damage looking for some portion of their family's memories that were not damaged by the fires. These types of stories are exactly why we started this company and why we continue to fight to get Memory Insurance to the masses."

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.
