Create a family health record

Prepare for a family emergency by gathering important details about your family's health. For each person, collect the following information: medical conditions, allergies, medications, blood type, doctor's name and phone number, and insurance information. Also include advance directives, the legal documents that outline your decisions about health care, such as whether to use life-support machines.
