'''Make the plan while things are calm.''' A family preparedness plan is not giving up, it is making sure that if the worst day comes, your children are picked up, your bills are paid, and your case starts moving within hours instead of weeks. Most families never need it. Every family is stronger for having it.<br />
<br />
== Memorize, do not just save ==<br />
Everyone in the family, including children old enough, memorizes two or three phone numbers: a trusted relative or friend, and a lawyer or hotline. Phones get taken.<br />
<br />
== Children and dependents ==<br />
* Choose '''backup caregivers''' (first and second choice) and talk to them.<br />
* Complete a '''caregiver authorization affidavit''' or power of attorney for your state so a named adult can make school and medical decisions. Legal aid groups and the ILRC publish state guides and free forms.<br />
* Keep the school's '''emergency contact and pickup list''' current, with your backups on it.<br />
* Write down routines a caregiver would need: medications, allergies, doctors, school times.<br />
<br />
== One documents folder ==<br />
In one safe place a trusted person can reach, keep copies of:<br />
* IDs, passports, birth certificates for everyone<br />
* '''A-numbers''' and every immigration paper ever filed or received<br />
* Medication lists, insurance cards, doctors<br />
* Lease or mortgage, car title, bank details, bills list<br />
Tell one trusted person exactly where it is.<br />
<br />
== Money ==<br />
Arrange how rent and bills get paid if you are detained: joint account access, a trusted person, or automatic payments. Detention should not become eviction.<br />
<br />
== Legal, in advance ==<br />
Have a consultation '''before''' any crisis: a screening can reveal relief options you did not know you had, and the lawyer's card in your wallet becomes the number your family calls on day one. See [[Finding an Immigration Lawyer]].<br />
<br />
== The small kit ==<br />
* A [[Red Cards and Rights Cards|red card]] by the door, in each wallet, in the glovebox.<br />
* The [[Emergency Hotlines and Rapid Response|hotline numbers]] saved in every phone and written in the documents folder.<br />
* A simple check-in agreement: "if I am not home by X and not answering, call Y."<br />
<br />
== If the day comes ==<br />
The plan activates: caregiver takes the children, the trusted person opens the folder, the family follows [[If a Loved One Is Detained]].<br />
