YOU MUST BE READY / FIELD PLAN
One-page household emergency plan
Reviewed on: _________________
Complete this privately with responsible household members. Keep accessible but protected. Follow current emergency-service and building instructions rather than an outdated printed route.
1 — Immediate safety: what comes first?
UK emergency services: 999 or 112 for immediate danger. Never delay escape from fire or other immediate danger to collect this sheet or bags.
Our building's relevant emergency / fire instructions
Where to get current official information
2 — People, care needs & backup roles
| Essential person or task | Responsible adult | Backup / where detailed care plan is kept |
|---|---|---|
| Account for household members | ||
| Health, medication, mobility, care | ||
| Children, school, pets or animals |
3 — Where are the essentials?
Safe water & ready-to-eat food
Torch, spare batteries & phone charger
Medicines / care arrangements
Protected documents, contacts & go-bags
4 — Stay, leave or reassess
We would reassess immediately if (specific hazards, official instructions, care needs):
Safe primary destination (only if appropriate)
Safe fallback destination / no-travel plan
5 — Contact, reunification & handover
Trusted relay / phone number
Where the full contacts and route map are kept
Decision check: Who is safe? What confirmed information do we have? What is the next safe action? What new information would make us change it? A missed message is not proof of injury. No bag or schedule justifies unsafe travel.
