The Pocket Emergency Plan is a printable, wallet-sized emergency preparedness card designed to help individuals, families and UKSN Charters stay organised during unexpected events such as power cuts, evacuation orders, travel disruption, or communication outages.
 
When emergencies happen, normal systems can fail quickly. Mobile networks become overloaded, transport routes can close, and family members can become separated without warning. In these situations, having a clear, written emergency plan can significantly improve response time and reduce confusion.
 
This simple but effective emergency preparedness card ensures that every member of your household has access to the same critical information - even when phones, apps, or digital systems are not available.

What is the Pocket Emergency Plan?
The Pocket Emergency Plan Card is a FREE printable emergency planning tool that fits easily into a wallet, pocket, or bag. It is designed for real-world emergencies where communication may be limited or unavailable. Unlike digital-only solutions, this physical emergency card ensures your key information is always accessible when you need it most.

What You Can Record on the Card
The Pocket Emergency Plan includes clearly structured sections for essential emergency information:
Two emergency contacts (names and phone numbers)
Two emergency radio frequencies or channels for receiving local updates during disruptions
Project LORA emergency channel for off-grid communication planning
Primary meeting point for immediate reunification
Secondary meeting point if the primary location cannot be reached
Separation instructions so each person knows what to do if they become isolated

Every section is designed to be quick to read and simple to follow, even under stress.

Why Carry a Pocket Emergency Plan?
In real emergencies, delays and confusion often happen because people are relying on memory or inaccessible technology. This card provides a pre-written, agreed plan that all household members can follow.

It helps support situations such as:
Sudden evacuation scenarios
Loss of mobile signal or internet access
Natural disruptions or severe weather events
Travel delays or transport shutdowns
Family separation during emergencies

Having a physical emergency plan increases clarity and reduces decision-making under pressure.

Printable, Durable & Built for Everyday Carry
The Pocket Emergency Plan is designed as a printable emergency card, meaning you can produce it at home or in bulk for your household.

For best results, we recommend:
Printing on durable card stock
Laminating once completed to protect against water, wear, and damage
Keeping one copy per family member so everyone follows the same plan

Once completed, it becomes a permanent part of your personal emergency preparedness setup.
