Peace of mind, on paper

What would your family need in the first five minutes — and could they find it?

The Emergency Binder puts everything in one place: who to call, what you have, where it is, and what to do next. Fill it in over a weekend, and count on it for years. It's the page a babysitter, a neighbor, a grandchild — or you, on a bad day — can pick up and act on without hunting through drawers.

It's built for any household: families with kids, couples, solo households, and adult children getting things organized for or with their parents.

The signature page

The First Five Minutes

Every binder opens to a single 911-ready page — your address, the utility shutoffs, and the first calls to make — written so anyone in your home can act on it before help arrives. It's the difference between a frantic search and a calm, clear next step on the worst kind of day.

Good to know

Common questions

What should be in an emergency binder?

The essentials are who to call, what you have, where it is, and what to do next. This binder covers all four across 20 pages — from a first-five-minutes 911 page to medical snapshots, insurance, a document locator, an evacuation plan with go-bag and 72-hour kit checklists, and a twice-a-year review.

Who is it for?

Any household — families with kids, couples, solo households, and adult children organizing things for or with their parents. If a babysitter, neighbor, or grandchild had to act fast in your home, this is what they'd reach for.

Do I have to print it?

You choose. The printable PDF is made for paper and a binder; the fillable PDF lets you type directly on a computer or tablet and save it. Your purchase includes both, so you can use whichever fits — or both.

Is my information safe in it?

Yes. The binder is designed to never need passwords, PINs, account numbers, or Social Security numbers. It records where things are and who to call — useful to your family, useless to a thief if it's ever misplaced.

What do I get, and how does it work?

An instant digital download — two high-resolution US Letter (8.5x11") PDFs, printable and fillable. Nothing is shipped. After purchase you download from your account and can print at home or a print shop.
