Everything in one place, before you need it

When something goes wrong, such as a power cut, a storm, a sudden hospital visit or a quick evacuation, the information you need is often scattered across phones, drawers and memories. This binder gathers it into one place, so you, or anyone helping you, can find it in seconds.

Fill it in on screen and save it, or print the blank pages and write by hand. Every field is a clear box or line, margins are safe for home printers, and the pages read well in black and white.

It is written for households in any country. You add your own local emergency number, water amounts appear in both liters and US gallons, and there is a cross-border section for families with papers, property or relatives in more than one country.

A tracker that keeps it current

A binder is only useful if it is up to date. The companion spreadsheet lists your stored supplies and your documents (passports, ID cards, residence permits, insurance policies, vehicle papers) with their expiry dates. Each row shows the days left and a clear status: OK, Expires soon, Expired or No date.

A dashboard counts what needs attention, a calculator works out water and food targets for your household, and a review tab tells you when your next six-month check is due.
