Guide

The first 24 hours list.

Emergency planning gets too big fast. Start with the first day. If your trusted person can handle that, the rest has more room to breathe.

Write these first

Who should be called first, second, and third.
Children’s location, pickup permissions, routines, and comfort needs.
Medication, allergies, pharmacy, and doctor contacts.
Pet care and vet contact.
Home entry and urgent household instructions.
Where important documents are stored.
Which professional contacts can help: attorney, accountant, insurance agent, employer HR.

The goal is not perfection. It gives someone a short, usable path when there is already enough going on.
