Every item below downloads immediately. If a printable appears on this page, it exists and it is complete. Anything still being written is named further down, without a download button, so you know what is coming and what is not here yet.
Household members, pets, medical conditions, allergies, and medications, on wallet-sized panels. Keep one visible near an exit and one in your ready bag. Written to be read by a paramedic who has never met you and has ninety seconds.
Emergency contacts, one out-of-area contact, meeting point, blood type, and critical medications. Print, cut, laminate. A phone with a dead battery holds no phone numbers. Two copies per sheet so the household has a spare.
Where the water, gas, and electric shutoffs are, what tool each needs, and the order to work in. Fill it in once and mount it near the panel, so a teenager or a neighbor can act without calling you.
Everything that belongs in a household first aid kit, with checkboxes to tick as you stock it. Includes what to skip, and why a high item count is usually the marketing rather than the value. Print it and store it with the kit.
The equipment and the habits that build practical physical capacity: carrying weight, climbing stairs, walking distance. Modest gear, honest cost ranges, and the things you do not need to buy at all.
Twenty questions to answer before making an offer on rural or semi-rural property. Water, access, zoning, easements, and the septic and well questions that cost the most to get wrong. Carry it when you walk the parcel.
Print on plain paper, then laminate or slide into a zip bag. Update anything holding phone numbers or medications once a year, on a date you already remember.
Why paper
A printable earns its place when one of three things is true. It has to be filled in by hand, so the information is yours and not a form field on a dead phone. It has to be carried on your person, sized for a wallet or a glovebox. Or it has to be read by someone who is not you: a paramedic in your kitchen, a neighbor checking your house, a shelter volunteer looking after your dog.
If none of those is true, it is not a printable. It is a checklist, and a checklist page does the job better because it tracks what you own and stays current when a product changes.
In development
These are named rather than shown, because a download button that does nothing is worse than no button. Each one is drafted. None is ready. When one is finished it moves up the page and gets a card.
Refrigerator and freezer food safety timelines from USDA, generator placement distances from CPSC, and the carbon monoxide rules that matter most at two in the morning.
Out-of-area contact, two meeting points, childcare pickup protocol, pet plan, and medical information. The document a household fills in together at a kitchen table, once, and then keeps.
Not the documents. Where the documents are. Deeds, titles, policies, birth certificates, and account access, recorded so that someone acting for you can find them in an afternoon.
Vaccination dates, microchip number, veterinarian, feeding schedule, medications, and a printed photo. Written for a shelter volunteer or a neighbor caring for an animal that cannot explain itself.
Room by room, with serial numbers and photo references. The sheet that turns an insurance claim from a memory exercise into a filing task, at the worst possible moment to be remembering.
A two-week food supply tracker. Categories, quantities per person, what you have, what you still need, and the rotation dates that keep it honest.
Work out what your household actually needs, then record containers, filters, treatment supplies, and the date each container was last filled.
Map a primary and an alternate route home on foot. Distance, waypoints, water sources, shelter, and the two people along the way who would open a door for you.
