Family communication plan

Household plan

Fill this in once. Print two copies: one for the fridge, one for your wallet.

Based on ready.gov’s family communication plan. Nothing here is saved anywhere but this browser — there’s no account, and no address.

Household members

Up to 8 people. Add anything a helper would need to know.

No one added yet.

Out-of-area contact

Someone outside your area everyone can check in with if local phone lines are down.

Meeting places

Pick spots that are familiar and easy to find — a landmark, not a street address.

Evacuation route

Where you’d go, and how you’d get there.

Pets

Most public shelters don’t take pets in — plan for them separately.

No pets added.

Utility shutoffs

Where to find each one, and what tool it takes.

Important numbers

Keep policy numbers in your document pouch, not on this card.

A label only, like “Homeowners” or “Renters” — write the actual policy number in your document pouch, not here.

School and work plans

Pickup procedures, shelter-in-place plans, who’s authorized to pick up your kids.

In case we’re separated
