Your Printable Medical-Power Emergency Plan
Last verified: September 2026
A walk-through for writing your own medical-power emergency plan, section by section — devices, backups, settings, numbers, switch-over steps, and when to call 911 — so it all lives on one page anyone can follow. Rather have a hand? My number is (330) 200-8042.
Putting Your Whole Plan on One Page, at a Glance
A plan that lives only in your head can't be handed to a neighbor, a grandchild, or a paramedic in a hurry — a written plan can. This guide walks you through writing yours section by section: devices, backups, settings, numbers, switch-over steps, where things are, and when to call 911. Fill the medical blanks with your doctor and supplier. It is not medical advice. There's a printable 29-page version up top.
Common Questions
1 Does the plan need to be fancy?
Not at all. A single clear sheet, handwritten in big print, is perfect. What matters is that it's complete, current, and where someone can find it.
2 Who should have a copy?
You, your caregiver, and nearby family who'd help. Post one on the fridge, keep one in your go-bag and wallet, and a photo on your phone.
3 What if I don't know some of the answers?
That's fine — the medical blanks are for your supplier and doctor to fill. Leave them until you can ask, and I'll help with all the rest.
4 What's the most important thing to write?
Put '911 first' at the top, and write the switch-over steps in big print — those are what a helper needs most in the moment.
5 How often should I update it?
Review it twice a year — when the clocks change — and update it whenever a device, setting, or number changes. Date each version.
6 Can you help me write it?
Yes — I'll help you fill every non-medical blank, write the switch-over steps, and make big-print copies. $99 flat for a visit, 30-day come-back-free.
Would You Rather I Just Help?
Turning all of your preparation into one clear page is some of the most useful work I do. I'll help you fill every non-medical blank, write the switch-over steps in big print, put the safety rules on the page, and make copies for the fridge, the go-bag, and your caregiver — the medical blanks stay with your doctor and supplier. $99 flat for a visit, 30-day come-back-free.
Would you rather I just do this for you?
No shame in it — plenty of folks would rather hand it off, and that's what I'm here for. I'll come to your home, set it up right, and make sure it's working before I leave. Flat $99 per visit — no jargon, no upsell, and every visit is 30-day come-back-free.
Not a hardware job? I can often fix it remotely for $49 — a secure screen-share, up to 2 hours, that you watch the whole time and can end whenever (included free for $39/mo Support Plan members, and it counts toward the $99 if it turns out I need to come out).
