Common questions
What goes in a household binder?
Emergency contacts, insurance and account details, home information, medical notes and who to call for what. Keep it simple and update it twice a year.
Paper or digital?
Either works. A paper copy is easy for family to find in an emergency; a locked digital copy is easy to update. Many people keep both.
Is it safe to write passwords in it?
Avoid listing full passwords. Note where they are kept, such as a password manager, instead.
