The Family Emergency Binder

Most households keep the important things in six different places. The insurance policy is in a drawer, the boiler service number is in someone's phone, the school's emergency line is on a fridge magnet that fell off two years ago. On an ordinary day that costs you ten minutes of hunting. On a bad day it costs you far more, usually while you are least able to think clearly.

The Family Emergency Binder is a 42-page printable answer to one question: if someone in your household had to act fast, and you were not there to explain, would they find what they needed?

What is inside

• Start here — the six pages that matter most, in the first thirty minutes
• The people — household records, emergency contacts, doctors, schools, workplaces
• The home — property details, utilities, and where every shut-off valve is
• Money and cover — insurance policies, regular payments, and who holds what
• Documents — a full index of what exists and where the originals are kept
• Digital life — how someone gets in, without writing a single password down
• Pets — the page a neighbour could feed them from tonight
• If you have to leave — meeting points, the ten-minute list, a go-bag checklist
• If someone is in hospital — the first hour, and a sheet for every conversation
• Keeping it current — a twice-yearly check and a review log

Built to be written in

Every page is a form, a checklist or a log — laid out to print cleanly on A4 and US Letter, and to sit in a ring binder with a divider at each section. Print as many copies of any page as you need.

It is also designed to be safe to own. Every page records where something is and who to ask, never the account number or the password itself.
