Self-sufficient in 52 weeks (7) – Create an emergency contact list

You now know who to call, but what if you can’t call yourself?

Why this is important

A paper list with all important contacts is essential. Not only telephone numbers, but also addresses, blood group, medical information and emergency instructions belong to it.

How to do it

Use a simple sheet of paper or template. Note down family members, relatives, neighbours, GP, insurer, school and work. Add instructions: where to gather in a crisis, who calls whom. Make two copies: one at home, one in your bug-out bag.
