Grab and Go Binder

• Keep the following information in a 3 inch three-ring binder. You may want to use sheet protectors and tab dividers for each section.
• Keep the binder or file in a waterproof container.
• Look through the resources below and build your own binder with the information that your family needs. Every version I found had different things included.
• You may want to keep a digital version away from your home, for example, a thumbdrive kept in a secure location at your office or a family member's home. Be sure to update annually.
