Seller's description

Specifications

Emergency binder template: the blue cover page and the business-continuity page titled If I can't work tomorrow, shown as printed pages for an invented household and an invented plumbing business.

An emergency binder you can fill in, print and keep, with a section most binders leave out: what happens to your work if you can't work.

Fill in your details, then print it, save it as a PDF to share, or keep it as a Word file. The family pages cover who to call, medical details, the house, money, insurance and legal papers, pets and digital accounts. The business-continuity section is for the self-employed and tradespeople: your active jobs, client contacts, where estimates and invoices live, and your insurance and license numbers, so someone you trust can keep things running while you are out.

WHAT YOU GET
- Emergency Binder (.docx): 18 editable pages. Blue [brackets] show where your details go, so you type over them.
- A filled-in example (PDF) for an invented household and an invented plumbing business, so you can see the finished result before you start.
- A printable blank (PDF) with empty lines, to print and write on by hand.
- The Business Continuity Insert, "If I can't work tomorrow": 6 pages on their own, an editable .docx and a blank printable PDF.
- Bonus: a Renewals and Deadlines Tracker spreadsheet (.xlsx) that lists your licenses, policies and registrations and shows days left and a status in words.
- A 2-page quick start guide (PDF).

HOW IT WORKS
1. Open the .docx in Microsoft Word, or upload it to Google Drive and open it with Google Docs.
2. Type over each blue [bracket]. The text is ordinary text, so change anything you like and delete pages you do not need.
3. Print on US Letter paper and keep it in a binder, or save it as a PDF. Tell someone where it is.

WORKS IN
- Microsoft Word 2016 or newer (the binder and the insert)
- Google Docs (upload the .docx to Google Drive)
- Excel 2016 or newer and Google Sheets (the bonus tracker)
- No macros, no add-ons, nothing to install. The files use Arial.

GOOD TO KNOW
- This is a digital download. Nothing will be shipped.
- Sizes are US Letter. Each section starts on its own page; if your text runs long, shorten a line or reduce the font size a little.
- Write where passwords and account numbers are kept, never the passwords themselves.
- The names, phone numbers and places in the example are invented. This binder is an organizer. It is not legal, medical, insurance or tax advice and does not replace a will or a health care directive.
- It is not a Canva template and does not need an account.
- The tracker's example rows are invented. It does not know today's date: you type it. Renewal rules differ by place, so check dates with the issuer.
- Colorblind friendly: blue marks fill-ins and good results, orange means please note. No red and green.
- Questions: send a message through Etsy.
