Twelve household cards โ one per need, from infants to elderly parents to pets โ built to save time when a real evacuation order comes.
Evacuating as a family rarely comes down to one instruction: 'just leave together.' Infants need feeding supplies and diapers, elderly parents need their medication and a realistic walking pace, and pets need a carrier plus a shelter that will actually take them. We picked 12 cards built around what each household member specifically needs.
Check each card once while things are calm, then keep the finished set by the front door and on everyone's phone. When a real warning comes, don't waste time perfecting the checklist โ follow on-site guidance first, and set your departure time around whoever in the household moves slowest.
No. The cards should be finished ahead of time, during calm preparation. Once a warning is actually issued, following on-site guidance and evacuation control matters more than reviewing the cards.
Ask your local shelter about its pet policy in advance, and if it can't accommodate your pet, line up a backup โ a relative's home or a pet-friendly lodging โ before the warning hits.
No. Especially for a child's card, keep sensitive details like a full address to a minimum and stick to what a rescuer actually needs: contact info, medication, and allergies.
