Critical Info Form - DIY

ICE4SAFETY has had this Excel based spreadsheet tool online for several years now and it is still a relevent document in light of all the potential for catastrophe to occur resulting from one source or another....you will find it here on the DIY Forms Page

It is meant to be used by one or more family members.

You could complete the form as is or modify to your specific needs as directed in the "Read Me" comments inserted into the document. Once completed you can upload into a USB Drive/DVD and secure with your as you evacuate or secure underground or in a safe or with trusted relatives or maybe a copy in a bank vault.....all the time remembering that the information would be a gold mine for identity thieves.


No subscriptions required - no fees to pay - no membership to enroll in -no third-party to call - you control it. This is strictly a DIY tool.

In the event of an emergency requiring an immediate relocation you could access this info and take it with you if it were on a USB or portable secure drive. You could also place this information on an online file sharing database or backed up on a paid service that does this. If the internet is down or access is not available you could still have this information with you to help begin the timely and more orderly reconstruction of your life if your worldly possessions were destroyed. (it is also a great way to get organized - especially if you are sick.)

Prepardeness Tip - Critical Information Storage

This form is a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet with 7 individual worksheets that allows users the flexibility to record financial, medical, property, contact, important documents, personal and immunization info all in one document that you can customize easily - you can find this on the ICE4SAFETY Website DIY Tools page listed as the Critical Info Form.

The information you store on this form can mean the difference between spending weeks, months or years getting your life back together after a disaster. Proving your valuables existed for insurance purposes is a tedious and frustrating task - without records and photos - even worse.
Recreating licenses and proving who you are or that you possessed certain licenses or documents essential to your financial future is also fraught with problems.....and you will be in line with others no doubt - many others - most without proof of anything.

So spend the time NOW and complete the exercise in getting yourself together. If asituation arises where you must leave wherever you are in a big hurry or say your home burns down....the info stored with you in a USB Drive or CD off-site can help.

You can update at will and save as the date is refreshed whenever you open/save the document. You don't have to pay anyone else to do this - you can now do it yourself (DIY). If you have any difficulty with this tool, just let us know.

We worked it through some examples and each page format was checked so it printed out in standard 8.5 x 11 sheets. You will need access to a digital scanner that can convert your documents to files digitally and you will create a folder to store any inventory pictures you may take. You can hyper-link the property info to the picture for instant viewing if you like.

The format is straightforward so more people can use it easily. If you scan receipts for important items they can go into the folder as well. For a quick evacuation, store this info on a CD or a USB Portable Drive. If you keep it in a Keysure Box that would be helpful knowing no one else accessed your information. Keep it away from the wrong hands. Don't store this info on your computer either.

Take a good look at it on the DIY Page.....you know you have been saying all along that you have to do this..... (no one wants to) so here's your opportunity. Click HERE to get form!
