HELLO friends! 

Do you want to put together Emergency Preparedness and Food Storage Binder? But you need help figuring out where to get started? Well, look no further, I’ve got you covered, and the best news of all, all the printables are FREE!

Together we will assemble a binder (or binders) with all our food storage and emergency preparedness information. 

Every week I will add NEW free printables for you to download and add to your binders. You can expect various types of printables, from emergency contact information to inventory checklists to infographics about food storage and emergency preparedness and more!

I am so excited to work on this project WITH you!

Why am I doing this for free?

I want to provide valuable resources to help you reach your preparedness goals. I am a big believer in the power of community. As we work on this project simultaneously, I hope that we can encourage each other to keep working towards getting more prepared (and organized) each week!

I will have prizes regularly that you can win if you participate and share about your binder online. On Instagram, you can tag @foodstoragemama and use the hashtag #mfsmbinderchallege for a chance to win a prize!

On Facebook, tag the @modernfoodstoragemama page in your posts about your binder for a chance to win a prize.

I will share more information about prizes and contests on Facebook and Instagram- stay tuned for details!

How to get started?

I will post the printables and weekly to-do lists each week (I will keep updating this post)! You can hop in and join us anytime; it’s ok if you get behind or do this at your own pace! The goal of this project is to keep us all continually working toward our preparedness goals.

If you have any questions, please contact me via email, Facebook, or Instagram!

Ok, back to our Binder Project-

Instructions:

Buy a binder with a clear plastic cover where you can put one of my binder covers inside the plastic. Also, buy dividers to separate each section. Use the binder to keep all the other valuable free printables on my site and any helpful information about food storage and emergency preparedness. To get updates when I release new printables and infographics, make sure you sign up for my email list!

You can download the Binder Printable Covers & Sections HERE!

*In the post linked above you will find three Binder Cover design options, you can mix and match the designs however you like!

I have created three different designs for you to choose from for your binder. You can download all three and mix and match the designs or stick with the design you like best. I hope you have fun with this project! Please reach out to me with any questions you have

*Disclaimer: These printables are provided for your personal use, they can not be sold or altered. You CAN share the printables with friends and family!

LET’S GET STARTED!

Week ONE:

This week, we will focus on getting an emergency contact list printed, filled out, and into your binder!

How many people’s numbers do you have memorized? What would you do if you lost your phone or couldn’t access your contacts? I am going to be really honest here… I have my phone and husband’s numbers memorized, and that’s it!

AHHH, that is a scary thought. I still need to memorize my teenager’s phone numbers (I need to work on that). We NEED to have the information of our emergency contacts written down and stored in multiple places!

Keep reading because I have a few ideas of multiple places for us to put our Emergency Contact lists.

Instructions:

Buy a binder with a clear plastic cover where you can put one of my binder covers inside the plastic. Also, buy dividers to separate each section. Use the binder to keep all the other valuable free printables on my site and any helpful information about food storage and emergency preparedness.

Tips-

I want you to find a spot in your home to store your binder where you can grab it quickly in an emergency!

You can also print out multiple Emergency Contact Lists, fill them out, and put copies into your 72-Hour Kits/Bug-Out-Bags. 

I strongly encourage you to make copies of the Emergency Contact Lists and put them into the glove boxes in your cars. Store the Emergency Contact List in your vehicles with your registration and insurance information.

Ok, that’s a wrap for week one! Easy enough? Remember to take a picture of your Binder or Emergency Contact List and tag me on social media to win prizes. Tag @foodstoragemama and #mfsmbinderchallenge on Instagram and tag @modernfoodstoragemama page on any Facebook posts!

  1. Question! – Other than the obvious (passport, ID, health insurance cards) what documents should be together for easy grabbing incase of emergency/ emergency evacuation?

    1. Hi! Thanks so much for your comment. I am working on a check list for this. Are you following my Instagram page @foodstoragemama or are you on my email list? I will post about this list when I get it done!

  2. Hi! The link to the printable cover and section dividers is not working. It takes you to a food storage article.
