Who this printable is for

This printable is for people who want key emergency contacts and document locations available during local driving, appointments, errands, road trips, or caregiver transportation.

Why this may matter in an emergency

When someone is away from home, contacts and medical basics may be harder for family, urgent care, ER, EMS, or travel companions to locate.

A glove box sheet can serve as a backup, but it should not say that first responders will always check the glove box or use the sheet.

Glove box handoff notes

Handoff notes can point to contacts and fuller records. Do not include treatment instructions, triage instructions, vehicle safety directions, legal claims, or responder instructions.

  • Who is traveling with the person or who should be called first
  • Where the medication list, allergy list, medical ID, insurance card, travel folder, or fuller emergency sheet is kept
  • Which caregiver, family member, or travel companion can confirm current details
  • Which details should stay out of the car copy because a vehicle may be shared, serviced, or broken into

Where to keep it

Keep the sheet in a glove box, vehicle emergency folder, travel pouch, medical go-bag, or caregiver transportation folder if the person chooses to keep a vehicle copy.

Do not assume every responder or helper will check a specific location. Tell trusted people where the current sheet and fuller records are kept.

When to update it

Review the sheet before travel, after changing vehicles, or when contacts, doctors, pharmacy, medications, allergies, document locations, or travel companions change.

Remove outdated copies so the vehicle does not carry conflicting information.

Privacy and safety notes

A vehicle copy may be seen by other people or left in a parked car. Include only what is useful and safe to store there.

Avoid passwords, full Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, door codes, or unnecessary sensitive details on a visible copy.

This page is for organization and emergency preparedness only. It is not medical advice, legal advice, vehicle safety advice, or emergency-response advice and does not replace 911, EMS, clinicians, medical records, medication labels, medical IDs, care plans, patient portals, legal documents, or professional guidance.

Printable sheet versus digital YourEMR profile

A digital YourEMR profile can hold fuller details that change over time, such as contacts, medications, allergies, doctors, document locations, caregiver roles, and privacy choices. Update the profile and print a fresh copy when something changes.

Helpful terms

  • Glove box sheet: A vehicle copy of selected emergency information and document locations.

Glove Box Info details to record

Helpful details may come from current contact lists, medication labels, allergy lists, clinician paperwork, patient portals, and the person's own records.

For a glove box copy, keep the sheet practical and avoid sensitive details that should not stay in a vehicle.
