The one page everyone needs.

When someone steps in for you, the first thing they need is a list of who to call — and in what order. This is the simplest, most useful page in the entire emergency binder, pulled out as its own standalone product. Seven categorized sheets, a who-to-call-first card, and a fridge quick card. Fill it in once and it quietly earns its keep for years.

What's inside the directory

Seven categorized contact sheets cover everyone a partner, relative, or trusted friend would need to reach:

• Who to call first — the two or three people to reach in the first hour, with their phone numbers and relationship.
• Immediate family — the inner circle, with phone, email, and address.
• Extended family & close friends — the people who would want to know and can help.
• Medical — primary doctor, specialists, dentist, pharmacy, and insurance contact.
• Home & household — landlord, plumber, electrician, the person with the spare key.
• Work & school — employer, HR, the kids' school, daycare, and your emergency contact at work.
• Pets, legal & financial — vet, lawyer, accountant, bank, and any ongoing service providers.

Plus a fridge quick card

The most important contacts — the ones someone needs in the first five minutes — are reformatted into a single cut-out card you can put on the fridge. If only one page gets used, this is the one. It includes: who to call first, the family doctor, the vet, and where the folder lives.

Every format, so it fits how you work

The Family Contacts Directory comes as one versioned ZIP with all three formats included:

• Print-friendly, low-ink PDF — a clean layout that doesn't drain a cartridge. Fill it in by hand or type on screen.
• Excel spreadsheet tracker that also opens in Google Sheets (open the .xlsx, then File → Make a copy) — with the same fields and room for unlimited contacts.
• Editable text card for the fridge quick card, so you can type and print.
• Both US Letter and A4 in every package — it works wherever you are.

Done in about an hour

1. Download instantly after checkout — the secure link appears right on the confirmation page, no waiting for email.
2. Fill in the names and numbers you know offhand — that is already most of the value. Look up the rest over the next few days.
3. Put the fridge card up and tell one person where the full directory lives. Done.

Who it's for

Anyone who wants the calmest possible start. If the full binder feels like too much, start here — this single directory is the page someone would reach for first. New parents building the safety net one piece at a time. Solo renters who want one person to have the full picture. Couples merging two sets of contacts into one shared list. And if you want to build from here, the Mini Emergency Folder ($12) adds the medical snapshot, household essentials, and pet pages, and the Complete Life-Admin Binder ($34) covers everything from insurance to a family handoff letter.
