It is important to backup your seed phrase but some people said the backup is not good online but which is true because we have seen how hackers was able to see some people seed phrase online and steal their coins. But I have been thinking recently that how can people in countries with natural disaster be able to backup their seed phrase offline? An example is the flooding that occured in Pakistan like 2 or 3 years ago that submerged 1/3 of the country under water. Even if you backup your seed phrase offline in many locations, it is possible that kind of flood can lead to permanent loss of your offline seed phrase.
The importance of seed phrase and private keys with regards to its storage can’t be any less emphasized and here again is a very sensitive case to the matter. One of the ways most of use do implore in storing our seeds is by having it physical inscribed somewhere and with good reason, the web is interconnected and lately, it’s been exploited for all possible reasons which makes anything and everything over the web vulnerable. Data in the wrong hands could mean a lot of damage and worst of all, seed phrase.

Something I know even without having to live in a disaster area is that, a warning is always passed out months or weeks before disaster strikes. As humans, we most times don’t heed this warnings but, it’s a time to get yourself prepared for the inevitable. While we have the technology to make possible predictions with accuracy, it’s good not to gamble it.
