Free Family Emergency Binder Cover Printable

April 8, 2015 By Prepared Mom Team 4 Comments

Get started making your own Family Emergency Binder with this free printable cover and spine insert from Momwithaprep.com!

Tomorrow, I’m going to be sharing with you a great resource. It’ll be how to create your own emergency binder with ready-made resources and free printables. So to get ready for it, I’m offering you a free printable today so that you can get your binder ready!

A tip for printing: Trying to insert a 1.25″ strip of paper into a small binder spine is kind of tricky, but it can be done. But if you happen to have cardstock available to print on (also known as index paper), try it, instead. It’ll give you a little more body to put the pieces into your binder covers.

You can get a binder with insertable pouches for your own covers at any box store, office supply or teacher supply. I’ve created the spine inserts for the 1.5″, 2″ and 3″ spines, but you can adjust for whatever you need. They’re white backgrounds, so keep that in mind if matching matters to you!

Another free printable you can get is one for Emergency ID Cards for your emergency bags or even into your Emergency Binder.

Items helpful to create  your Family Emergency Binder

  • Binder
  • Page Protectors – while you can just 3-hole punch your papers, they will get torn and messed up the more you use your binder. Also, you don’t want to hole punch your important papers, etc., so slipping them into a page protector keeps them safe and protected but still accessible.
  • 4×6 recipe card protectors – good for the Emergency ID cards (and you can put more than 1 copy in each slot, so you have extras to send off with kids for field trips, etc.) If you expand your emergency binder to include full food storage planning, etc., having these to store recipe cards with your food storage information is great!
  • Laminating machine – sometimes it is really helpful to have something laminated to keep it protected even more, make it useful outside of your binder without damaging it, and you can even use wipe-off markers on it. It’s what we did with our map print-offs.
  • Zip top bags – for those things you don’t want to laminate but want to protect just in case you flip your binder and they fall out.
  • Baseball card pocket protectors – used to collect baseball cards and business cards, these can house your credit cards, extra keys, and other smaller objects that don’t readily fit into your other pages.

So be prepared to start collecting documents, printing off sheets, and getting all of your emergency preparedness in order in a grab and go binder that can help your family in the event of an emergency.
