VAULT has the broadest audience of any module in the suite — every household needs this regardless of preparedness level. Document where every critical piece of paper is, whether a certified copy exists, and where it is stored. In a house fire, flood, or forced evacuation, knowing exactly what you have and where it is saves everything. Update annually.
In a crisis, families often cannot access funds because account information is only in one person's head. Document every account with institution name, account type, approximate balance category, how to access it, and who else has access authority. Do not store full account numbers or passwords here — use descriptive references that only your family would understand, and store full credentials separately in physical encrypted form.
When you are evacuated to a shelter or receiving care from someone who doesn't know you, your medical history travels with you or it doesn't exist. Document conditions, medications with dosages, allergies with reaction types, and how to reach your regular providers. For prescription medications, document the refill process and any controlled substance considerations.
This is the hardest module to fill out and the most important. Write specific instructions for your family: where the document registry is, who the attorney is and how to reach them, what accounts exist and how to access emergency funds, where the emergency supplies are, who to call in the preparedness network, and what the bug-out plan is. Update this letter annually. Print it, sign it, and put it somewhere your family knows to look.
The wallet card is a single laminated card that goes in every adult family member's wallet. It contains enough information to access emergency resources and reach the right people — without containing sensitive data that would be dangerous if the wallet were lost. Use reference codes and initials rather than full account numbers or addresses.
Complete inventory of all critical documents with locations.
Formatted letter with emergency instructions — sign and file.
One card per family member with conditions, meds, and allergies.
Laminated wallet card with emergency contacts and references.
