Work it out for your home
Worked example
For the gov.uk household emergency plan headings:
- Sections: household, contacts, meeting places, shut-offs, services.
- Always on the card: 105 (power cut helpline (great britain)), 999 (emergency services), 111 (nhs non-emergency help).
- Print it and keep it where everyone can find it.

A plan everyone at home knows about costs nothing, and it means nobody has to work out what to do in the moment. Fill in the details, print it on one page, and keep it where everyone can find it.
How it works
The headings follow the household emergency plan on gov.uk Prepare. Leave anything blank to fill in by hand later. What you type is saved in your browser only, so it's there next time, and we never see it.
FAQs
Where should I keep it?
Somewhere everyone at home knows about, such as inside a kitchen cupboard door, with a copy in your grab bag.
How often should I update it?
Whenever something changes, such as a new phone number, school or carer.
