This is what Patti has put together for her Grab & Go Binder, which is a collection of important documents, all in one place, that you’ll grab if you ever need to evacuate your home or respond to an emergency.

1. SD card that has a movie of your home and its contents as well as your children, for insurance and identification purposes
2. Social security cards
3. Birth certificates
4. Recent photos of entire family and pets
5. Finger prints
6. Insurance declaration pages and agents phone numbers and address
7. Bank information, phone number, address
8. List of all bills, due dates, address, phone numbers
9. Phone numbers and addresses for family, friends and physicians
10.  If you live near a nuclear plant (like I do) evacuation routes
11.  State map and surrounding states
12.  Last years taxes
13.  Passports
14.  Copies of driver’s license and professional license
15.  Health insurance cards
16.  IP addresses of resourceful websites such as:
    SHTF Movement.com is 216.172.191.237
    drudge report.com is 208.73.210.29
    the woodpile report.com is 208.109.181.115
    essential intelligence is 209.85.148.132
    survivalblog.com is 95.143.193.148
    nasa.gov is 92.123.68.152
    google.com is 173.194.35.145
    This is just in case the government shuts down any websites you may use you can still look it up by typing the IP address in the tool bar.
17.  Car title, mortgage note or any ownership documents
18.  Vaccine records (blue cards)
19.  Copy of proof of car insurance
20.  If you have legal documents for child custody this must be included! If the SHTF and your ex refuses to return your child, the police will view it as a civil matter and burden of proof will be on you!
21.  Place folded flat N95 mask for each person in the home and a pair of latex gloves in a manila envelope and include this in your binder.

Lisa’s note: You can find full instructions for making your own Grab & Go Binder in my book, Survival Mom: How to prepare your family for everyday disasters and worst case scenarios.
