What it solves

"If we had to leave tonight, I wouldn't know what to grab."

A checklist of exactly what goes in the folder (copies, not originals), and a 10-minute leave list to tape inside a cabinet.

"Every number is in my phone."

Your people, your doctors, your pharmacy and your insurance claims lines on paper, for the day the phone is dead.

"The insurance company would ask for things I can't find."

Policy numbers and claims phones in one table, plus how to film a 10-minute home inventory that survives if the house doesn't.

  • Check it twice a year

Hi, I'm June. Here's why I made this.

Grandma Hazel never panicked. She was just ready: a full cellar, cash in the flour sack, every paper in one tin, and neighbors she checked on every morning.

I needed all of it. Ray, our two-year-old Beth and I rode out Hurricane Andrew in 1992 in our bathtub under a mattress. And when Ray died in 2021, it took me six months to find our accounts, and a life insurance policy I never knew we had.

So now I write it down for women like us: plain fill-in guides for a steady home. No fear-selling, no survival gear, no investment tips. I always point you to ready.gov, your county and your insurance agent for the final word.

Questions

Who is it for?

Anyone who runs a home, especially women living alone or caring for someone. It works for hurricanes, wildfire, floods, a house fire or an ambulance ride.

Do I need to buy anything?

No. A folder, a zip pouch and a copier. Most of it you already own.

Is it really free?

Yes. You get the PDF right away, and June's short emails about a ready home. One click at the bottom of any email and they stop.
