Emergency Binder Fillable PDF, Contacts, Insurance, Medical and Pet Info Forms, Not a Will

Not a will, not legal advice. These are blank forms that keep a household's contacts, insurance, medical, pet and utility details in one place. Type and save, or print blank and write by hand. It is 16 pages.

Household members (page 3): 12 people, plus your address and home phone.
Emergency contacts (page 4): 18 rows, from a nearby friend to the non-emergency lines.
Meeting places (page 5): three places you choose, who picks up whom, and what you will do if phones are down.
School, work and care (page 6): where each person is during the day.
Medical record (pages 7 to 10): one page each for four people, with allergies, conditions, doctor, insurance ID and 7 medicine rows.
Insurance policies (page 11): six policies, each with company, number, claims phone, agent and renewal.
Pets (pages 12 and 13): four pets, with vet, microchip, food and who takes them if you cannot.
Utility shut-offs (page 14): your notes on electricity, gas, water, internet and phone. The page gives no instructions.
Important papers (page 15): 15 kinds of paper, with a box to tick and where each is kept.
Go bag and supplies (page 16): 20 lines for your own list.

Page 2 is a contents page with links, and each page links back to it. The file makes no emergency plan for you and gives no safety, medical or legal instructions.

HOW THIS WAS MADE
AI helped write the listing text, the how-to text, the printed labels and the code that builds this file. Scripts tested: the 594 fields, that every field name is unique, typing into every field and reading it back after a save, a second save, the Tab order, every contents link and back link, the line Not a will, not legal advice on every page, a scan of every page for legal steps, medical guidance and shut-off instructions, ink near the page edge and text overflow. No person is claimed to have checked it unless stated here.

COMPATIBILITY
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 AND HOW-TO
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.

What if I have more than four people or pets? Print the blank page and write by hand, or save a second copy of the file under a new name.

Does the file send my details anywhere? No. It has no scripts, web links or submit buttons, and a script checked for them. Where it is stored is up to you.

What happens if I type too much in a box? A box holds only what fits. On screen a long entry can scroll out of sight, and on paper anything past the edge of the box does not print. Check the printed page before you rely on it, above all for medicines.

Using this fillable PDF

Save the PDF to your computer first, then open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Browsers and some preview apps can lose what you type.

Click a field and type. Press Tab to move to the next field.

Save often with File > Save. Close the file and open it again once to confirm your entries are still there.

Keep the blank file as it came, and save your filled copy under a new name with File > Save As.

You can print it with your entries, or print it blank and write by hand.

This file can hold private details. Store your filled copy somewhere only you and the people you trust can open.

Print settings for this PDF

Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader or Preview, not in a browser tab. Browsers can change the scale without telling you.

In the print window, pick the paper size that matches the file name.

In Acrobat Reader, set Page Sizing to Actual Size. In Preview, set Scale to 100%. If the edges get cut off, switch to Fit in Acrobat Reader or Scale to Fit in Preview.

Print one page first and check it before you print the rest.

To print only some pages, type the numbers in the Pages box, for example 3-8.

For double-sided pages, choose flip on long edge for portrait pages.

A4 or US Letter

US Letter is 8.5 x 11 inches (216 x 279 mm). It is the usual paper in the United States and Canada.

A4 is 210 x 297 mm (8.3 x 11.7 inches). It is the usual paper in most other countries.

The paper size is in each file name. Print the one that matches the paper in your printer.

If you only have the other size, use Fit or Scale to Fit in the print window. The page will come out slightly smaller, with wider margins.
