Emergency Binder

Not a will, not legal advice. This emergency binder is a set of blank forms that keep a household's key details on 16 pages, so someone else can find them. The Household members page holds 12 people, and Emergency contacts has 18 rows. Medical record has one page for each of four people, with 7 medicine rows. Other pages cover meeting places, insurance policies, four pets, utility shut-offs, important papers and a go bag list. The utilities page holds your own notes and gives no instructions. A contents page with links comes second. Type and save, or print it blank.

Compatibility and file formats

Fillable PDF with form fields, for Adobe Acrobat Reader on a computer. Page sizes in the files: US Letter 612 x 792 pt and A4 595 x 842 pt. Each size has 594 fields. A script typed into every field through PDFium's form engine, saved the file, reopened it and read each entry back with two PDF libraries (pikepdf and pypdf). It also drew the saved file with PDFium and poppler and found each entry on the page. Adobe Acrobat Reader and Preview have not been tried, so opening, typing and saving in them is untested, and it has not been test-printed on a real printer. Fields use a Western font: accented letters such as é and ñ were typed and read back in that script, and other alphabets were not tested.

Questions

Is this a legal document?

No. Not a will, not legal advice. It records details you type or write.

Does it tell me how to shut off the gas?

No. The page holds your own notes on where things are. Ask each company how it wants a shut-off done at your home.
