The Household Redundancy Ledger
An analog system for digital people
Most of what you would need in an outage lives on a phone that may be dead, or in an account you cannot reach. This is the paper copy. Fill it in once, keep it somewhere everyone can find, and check it twice a year.
Nothing on this sheet is sent anywhere. It is a blank form — we never see what you write on it.
Section 1
Your people
Everyone in the household, plus one contact who lives far enough away to still have phone service.
- Name
- Mobile
- Relationship
- Notes
7 blank rows on the printed sheet
Section 2
Where we meet
Two places: one close enough to walk to, one outside the neighbourhood in case you cannot get back.
- Which one
- Address or landmark
- Who knows it
4 blank rows on the printed sheet
Section 3
Utilities and accounts
The numbers you cannot look up when the power is out — and where the shutoffs are.
- Utility or account
- Provider
- Account number
- Shutoff / meter location
7 blank rows on the printed sheet
Section 4
Medical
Medications, doses and pharmacy. Worth having on paper if someone else has to fill a prescription for you.
- Person
- Medication
- Dose / schedule
- Prescriber / pharmacy
7 blank rows on the printed sheet
Section 5
Documents
Not the documents themselves — just what exists and where it lives.
- Document
- Where it lives
- Copy elsewhere?
7 blank rows on the printed sheet
Section 6
Supplies on hand
What you actually have today, not what you mean to buy. Update it when it changes.
- What
- How much
- Where stored
- Checked on
