Family emergency checklist
This printable emergency documents checklist is organized the way most households actually build a binder: get the 72-hour basics in one place, copy the papers that are hard to replace, and agree on a communication plan. Tick items off on screen — your progress saves in your own browser — or print the sheet blank and work on paper.
72-hour basics
Commonly organized in a grab-and-go bag or a dedicated shelf near the exit.
Documents to copy and file
Originals usually stay in a fixed home location; copies travel in the binder or a go-bag.
Communication plan
The plan page is usually printed once per family member and kept in the binder.
Next step: file the papers behind this checklist with the important documents inventory and print the emergency contacts sheet. For the full walkthrough, see how to build an emergency binder.
