Allergies and medication, in that order is the line to get right.
Who prints this
Every household with children, and anyone caring for a relative. It exists because the moment you need it is the moment nobody can unlock your phone, which is the whole argument for paper here.
The field that decides whether it works
Allergies and medication, in that order. They are what the ambulance asks first, and they are the two things a babysitter or a neighbour cannot guess.
Why it is laid out this way
Names and numbers come first and everything explanatory comes after, because this is read by someone in a hurry who will not get past a paragraph. Allergies and who is allowed to collect get blocks of their own rather than sharing a notes line, where they would be missed.
What is on the sheet
7 sections, in this order: Address; Home phone, Wi-Fi; a note; People to call, in order; Services; Medical notes, allergies and medication; Where to find the stopcock, fuse box and meter. Set the row height anywhere between 6 and 14 mm across its 19 ruled rows, put your own heading at the top, and find the emergency contacts alongside 4 other forms on the household forms page.
