First Aid/Emergency Binder Divider
Emergency Contacts
Instead of in the binder, you might want to post this list near a phone or on your family bulletin board.
Printable Emergency Contact Number forms:
Emergency Info for Parents and Care Givers (Kidshealth.org)
Emergency Contact and Family Disaster Plan Form
You might also want to put up a children's version of the contact list in addition to yours. You might use a telephone template and write the home number in big numbers on it. Also, for the fire department, police, 911 etc, you might want to have little phone templates with say a picture of a fire truck or fire with the number written below.

What to do for:
I printed these out and put in my first aid section of the binder. I placed my first aid section in the very back of my binder so we can find it quickly, insha Allah.
Take time to review your first aid information so that you will know what to do before an emergency occurs, insha Allah as well as review this information regularly so that you might remember it when an emergency occurs.
