Does this replace official instructions?
No. If local officials tell you to leave, leave, and if you see fire or rising water, just go. In an emergency, call 911. The binder is an organizer for the plan you make with your household.
Which emergencies does it cover?
The first section works for any of them. Then there are pages for a power outage, a winter storm, a hurricane or flood, and a wildfire, plus what to take if you have 10 minutes, an hour or a day.
Can I fill it in on a computer?
Yes. The PDF has fillable fields. Open it in a PDF reader that supports forms, such as the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, type, save and print. Keep a printed copy: in a power outage the computer may be off.
What about account and policy numbers?
The pages ask for the last 4 digits only, and never for a code or password. Keys & Codes records who knows each code, not the code itself.
What size are the pages?
US Letter, 8.5 by 11 inches. Print at actual size on a home printer, in color or in black and white.
How do I get it?
Pay through Stripe and a download link arrives by email within minutes. The link works for 30 days, so save the file. Nothing ships.
What if it isn't right for us?
Email hello@papersinorder.com within 14 days for a refund, for any reason. No questions asked.
An hour on a quiet evening is a good start.
Begin with Emergency Contacts and the 10-minute list.
