This page collects every printable on Survipedia in one place — forms you can fill in by hand, wallet cards to slip into a billfold, fridge-magnet checklists, and full deep-dive guides as PDFs. All free, all designed to work without electricity once they are printed.

Survipedia is built to be useful even when the internet is gone. The guides and Foundation pages give you the procedural knowledge; these printables give you the templates you fill out before an emergency, so the answers are already on the kitchen counter or in your wallet when the lights go out.

How to use this page

Do this first: Pick the 3 or 4 printables that match your current preparedness layer. Print one of each, fill them in over a quiet afternoon, and put them where you will see them — fridge, binder, wallet, glovebox. Then come back next quarter for the next layer. Time required: Per printable: 5–15 minutes to fill in. Quarterly review: 20 minutes. Cost range: Inexpensive — paper + printer + a permanent marker. Optional: a household laminator (affordable). Skill level: Anyone literate. Some categories (medical card, water inventory) benefit from a household coordinator who knows the details. Tools and supplies: Printer (color preferred but not required), permanent marker, optional laminator + sheet protectors, optional small binder. Safety warnings: Wallet-sized medical and communications cards contain sensitive personal information — store them where you would store your driver's license, not in a public-facing place.

Communications & contact cards

When phones fail or the household scatters, written information beats memory.

Printable What it does Use it with
Family Communications Card Wallet-sized card with 3 rally points, out-of-state contact, ICE numbers. 4 cards per Letter sheet. Family Emergency Playbook Chapter on communications
Emergency Medical Card Wallet-sized card listing medications, allergies, conditions, physician, insurance. 4 per sheet. Print one per household member. Medical-dependent household hub, chronic conditions, cold chain

Print one per household member. Update at every doctor visit and at every change of phone number or address. Laminating these cards is highly recommended — they live in wallets and pockets where they take real wear.

Inventory tracking

You can't rotate what you can't see. These sheets close the gap between "I have a year of food" and a verified list.

Printable What it does Use it with
Pantry Inventory — Rotating Sheet Category × item × quantity × dates × notes grid with built-in FIFO rotation guidance. Pantry building, food inventory, caloric planning
Household Water Inventory Container-by-container tracking with gallons, fill date, treatment status, and the 14-day household target calculation. Water storage, water sourcing, purification

The discipline of writing down what you have transforms a vague stockpile into a planning tool. Set a 90-day calendar reminder to re-walk the pantry and water inventory with the sheet in hand.

Practice & drills

Preparedness depreciates without practice. A drill is the moment your plan touches reality.

Printable What it does Use it with
Household Drill Log 12-month grid for recording drill type, who participated, what worked, what broke, and one action item per drill. Scenario practice, stress inoculation, Family Emergency Playbook

The log includes a suggested 12-month rotation — fire evacuation, power outage, water-only, communications, route walk, first-aid, shelter-in-place, bug-out-bag check, pantry-only meals, generator startup, winter readiness, annual review. Run one drill per month for a year and a household becomes meaningfully better prepared.

Pre-event checklists

Some emergencies announce themselves hours in advance. The work to be ready is mechanical and best done before the warning becomes urgent.

Printable What it does Use it with
Power-Outage Prep Checklist T-24h / T-12h / T-6h / During-outage / Restoration sequence. 30+ checkboxes covering planning, mitigation, pre-positioning, operations, and post-event restoration. Blackout response, generators, winter outage scenario

Print one, laminate it, stick it to the inside of the pantry door or refrigerator. The next time a wind warning comes through, you have the sequence in front of you instead of trying to remember what you read six months ago.

Printing tips

Paper: Standard 20 lb (75 gsm) US Letter copy paper for most printables. Use 80 lb (118 gsm) cover stock for cards intended for long wallet life.

Color vs. monochrome: All printables are designed to be legible in pure black-and-white. Color printing adds the brand green and red emphasis but is not required for usefulness.

Lamination: For anything that will live in a wallet, glovebox, or on a refrigerator: laminate or use a clear plastic sheet protector. Self-adhesive 3x5 in (76x127 mm) laminating pouches cost an inexpensive amount for a pack of 100.

Cutting wallet cards: The Communications Card and Medical Card are 4-up on US Letter — cut along the lines with a paper cutter, scissors, or a craft knife and metal ruler.

Updating: Every printable has a footer line pointing back to survipedia.com/about/downloads/. When this page updates, the printables get a new revision — re-print at most once per year unless content changes materially.

Coming soon

The next set of printables already queued for the build pipeline:

  • PACE route plan template — Primary / Alternate / Contingency / Emergency route worksheet for evacuation planning
  • Kit labels sheet — pre-printed labels for go-bag pouches (IFAK, fire kit, water, signaling, comms)
  • Generator startup/shutdown sequence card — laminated dashboard card for the generator pad
  • Skill-inventory worksheet — household skill matrix matching the Skills Inventory framework
  • 72-hour grab-and-go checklist — wallet-sized version of the Bug-out bag contents

If you have a specific printable you wish existed, the simplest way to surface that is to use the feedback channel.

Where these come from

Every printable on this page is generated from a single source script (scripts/build-printables.py) so the format, fonts, and brand styling stay consistent across the set. The PDFs are produced with reportlab under the project's existing build infrastructure — the same toolchain that produces the full-guide PDFs. The script is open in the repository and contributions for new printables are welcome.

The design principle is print-friendly first: every printable must work on paper without color, without internet, without electricity once printed. This site is built for the moment the network is gone — and these printables are the most direct expression of that principle.
