Queen of Free: Your emergency folder

While it’s not pleasant to think about, your family needs to know where to find your important documents during times of trouble.

INDIANAPOLIS — Keeping important contact information in your phone is fine until something happens to you and your family doesn't know your passcode for important information. 

Because of this, Cherie Lowe, the Queen of Free, explained to 13News anchor Alyssa Raymond why it’s a good idea to compile a quick document both in hard copy and digital emergency folder for your family. 

The folder should give them access to your employer, medical information like your doctors and blood type, what medications you're taking, and allergies.

You may need them to pay your bills for you. So passwords and account information should go in the folder.

They may need to find your will, power of attorney or custody information.

Keeping bank account information and passwords is important, but needs to stay in a secure place like a safe deposit box.

Watch Cherie and Alyssa discuss the emergency folder in the video player above.
