Emergency Information Form

In an emergency, it is easy to "forget" even the most well-known information. That is why it is crucial for you to complete the information in this form for each member of your household. Then, distribute copies to each member of your household. Also, post all copies by each telephone and in easy to find places in your home, automobile, or place of business. Be sure to update the information frequently.

Also, make copies for non-resident relatives, babysitters, caretakers, neighbors, teachers - anyone who has contact with you or who is periodically responsible for your children (or any disabled or elderly persons in your home).
