JUST IN CASE - THE PHONE KIT
rachelandthecity.com/just-in-case/

14 files, about 20 MB. Copies taken on 18 September 2026.

WHAT THIS IS
The fourteen documents from my offline library that are small enough to keep on a phone.
They are here as one download because a web page is not allowed to save somebody else's
files onto your computer, so the only way to hand you all fourteen at once was to keep
copies on my own site.

THESE ARE COPIES, NOT THE ORIGINALS
Every one of them came from the agency that wrote it, on the date above, and the address
it came from is listed below. If you want the current version, or you do not want to take
my word for it, go and get it from the agency. The full page always links to the live one.

WHAT TO DO WITH THEM
Put the folder somewhere that does not need a signal to open - your phone's Files app, or
a USB stick. Not a cloud folder. The whole point is the day the internet is not there.

WHAT THIS IS NOT
Not medical, legal or engineering advice. It is a set of documents other people wrote.
First aid manuals are reference, not training - read them, then go take the class.
When something is actually happening, follow your own county emergency management agency,
your nearest National Weather Service office, and your local fire and police.
