Emergency Contact Card
Create one simple card with the people and services you may need to reach quickly during an emergency. Fill it in online, print it, and keep copies where they can actually be found.
Keep this practical. Do not add Social Security numbers, passwords, full financial account numbers, detailed medical records or other information that would create a privacy problem if the card were lost.
Emergency Contact Card
Important people and services in one place.
This card works best when it contains contact details, brief practical notes and the location of important records. Keep diagnoses, passwords, PINs, Social Security numbers and full account details somewhere more appropriate.
Fill in only what would be useful in a real emergency.
Your information stays in the page while it is open. Nothing here needs to be saved to the website. Fill in the fields you want, then print the card.

The card only helps if someone can find it.
One copy may not be enough. Think about the places where emergency information would actually be useful to you or someone helping you.
At Home
Keep a copy in an obvious household location such as an emergency binder or another known planning area.
In the Vehicle
A limited-contact version can be useful in a glove compartment or vehicle emergency kit.
With a Trusted Person
An appropriate family member or trusted person can keep a current copy if that fits your household plan.
Connect the card with the rest of your emergency planning.
Print one copy and put it somewhere useful today.
A perfectly organized emergency system can come later. Start with one current contact card, place it where someone could actually find it, and update it whenever a key phone number or contact changes.
