Emergency card
Without your phone you probably don't remember a single number. This credit-card-size card keeps the essentials on paper: who to call, your health and where to meet. Keep it in your wallet and put one in every family member's bag.
How to use it
- Print on heavy paper, cut along the line, fold in half and laminate it or keep it in a sleeve so it survives water.
- Make one for every family member, including kids, in their school bag.
- Pick someone who lives far away as your out-of-area contact: in a local emergency it's often easier to reach another region than to call across town.
- Review it once a year, when you check your kit.
Pair it with your family plan and the map of your area.
