Emergency & life planning

Emergency & Life Planning Templates

The answers your household would otherwise have to guess at, written down while it is calm. The Family Emergency Binder holds the crisis information — who to call, the medical summary, insurance and utilities, where the important documents live, the evacuation plan and the page the kids can follow. The Important Documents Organizer is the map of what is in the house and where it actually lives. The Home Emergency Plan is the routes, shut-offs, roles and drill dates the household has agreed on together. The Just-in-Case Binder is the hand-off the one person who runs everything leaves for the people who would have to pick it up — accounts, bills, house systems and preferences, with the no-passwords rule printed on the page. Each is a page you fill in with a pen, kept where you can grab it, and it works with the power out because it is paper.

Family Emergency Binder

Everything your family needs when you can't be the person answering the questions, written once and kept where you can grab it: the people to reach including the out-of-state contact everyone agrees on, a medical summary a caregiver can hand to a medic, school and childcare numbers that bypass the phone tree, insurance policies with policy numbers and claim lines, utilities with account numbers and three plain rules for gas, power and water, the one-page map of where the important documents live, evacuation routes with near and far meeting points and a go-bag checklist, six "what to do if…" pages laid out to be read standing up, and the page written for the tallest kid in the house. 10 US Letter pages, printed at home and filled in with a pen — no account, no app, nothing to sync. This is the information people need during a crisis; the Emergency Ready Binder holds the supplies, and the Just-in-Case Binder picks up the accounts afterwards. Delivered by email as a printable PDF.

Important Documents Organizer

The index to the paperwork that already lives in your house, so "where's the deed?" stops being a guess: identity and family records, property and money documents, the five homes a document can live in — filing cabinet, fireproof safe, safe-deposit box, attorney's office or with a relative — the people who need to be notified and who actually makes the call, and a last-reviewed tracker with the annual review steps spelled out. 7 US Letter pages; walk the house once with a pen, write where everything really lives, and review it one Saturday a year. This is the map, not the storage — the Family Emergency Binder carries the quick answer, this carries the full one. Delivered by email as a printable PDF.

Home Emergency Plan previewEmergency & Life Planning

Home Emergency Plan

The plan, filled in with the people who live there instead of imagined on a website: a primary route and a plan B for each floor drawn on the page, near and far meeting points, the family phone tree with who calls whom in order and the words to say, one name and a backup on every job, the go-bag checklist, the water, gas and electric shut-offs drawn where you can find them, the short number list a neighbour or visiting relative needs, and a drill log with four booked dates — one in daylight, one in the dark, one announced, one not. 8 US Letter pages. The Emergency Ready Binder holds the supplies and the Family Emergency Binder holds the information; this is the plan that uses both. Delivered by email as a printable PDF.

Just-in-Case Binder

What the one person who runs everything leaves for the people who would have to pick it up: every account and who inherits it, how to get help rather than the password — the no-passwords rule is printed on the page, because a binder of passwords is a liability and a binder of pointers is a key — bills and autopays with cancel-or-transfer against each one, income and benefits with who holds the paperwork, the house systems, the vehicles and where the spare keys live, the digital estate, the people to notify and who tells them, and the preferences nobody should have to guess in a hallway. 10 US Letter pages, written in a calm year. It is a preference page and an index, not a legal document — the will and the guardianship letter are the legal ones, and the page says so. Delivered by email as a printable PDF.
