Who this sheet helps
This checklist is for caregivers, older adults, parents, people with medical equipment or supplies, and families who want a practical go-bag or information packet that trusted helpers know where to find.
Why this may matter in an emergency
A caregiver, family member, urgent care team, ER team, or trusted helper may need a quick packet of emergency information if the person leaves home, travels, evacuates, or needs a handoff.
A go-bag checklist can help the household see what copies are ready and what still needs review.
Medical go-bag handoff notes
Handoff notes can explain what is in the bag and where current records are kept. Avoid clinical device instructions, medication storage instructions, treatment steps, transfer techniques, or emergency-response instructions.
Where the bag or packet is kept
Which copies are current and where originals are stored
Who updates medication, allergy, provider, and supply lists
Where charger, battery, device, supplier, or care-plan paperwork is kept
Printable checklist versus digital emergency profile
A digital YourEMR profile may help when medications, allergies, contacts, documents, supplies, or caregiver notes change and a fresh copy needs to be printed.
Where to keep it
Keep the checklist with the go-bag, emergency binder, caregiver folder, travel packet, or another place trusted helpers know to check.
Avoid storing passwords, full account numbers, door codes, or unnecessary private information in a visible bag or packet.
When to update it
Review the checklist after medication, allergy, doctor, caregiver, supplier, equipment, battery, charger, document, insurance, travel, discharge, or living arrangement changes.

This checklist is for emergency information organization and preparedness only. It is not medical advice or legal advice and does not replace 911, EMS, clinicians, medical records, medication labels, allergy action plans, care plans, device instructions, supplier guidance, patient portals, legal documents, or professional guidance.
