Be Findable — Set Up Your Safety System

This is not only teaching. This is a system you build, here, in a calm season: one page with everything the people who love you — and the police — would need to find you, a phone set up to be found, and a check-in plan your person actually holds. When the worst hour comes, nobody searches their memory. They hand over the sheet.

The privacy promise, in big words: this system lives on YOUR device and your family's paper. This app never sees it, never stores it, and never sends it.

What you type below is kept only in this browser, on this device — the same promise as every tool in this app. And the sheet never asks for a password, an account login, or a card number. Names, numbers, and facts only. If any page in our name ever asks for more, it is not us. Close it.

One system, three doors

The method is one. Choose who this sheet is for — the fields below will speak for that person.

For yourselfYour own sheet, your own plan, your own code word — held by your person. For your childThe same sheet, speaking for your child — beside their ahead-of-time card and fingerprint card. For your elderThe same sheet, speaking for your elder — beside the card in their pocket.

Where the doors lead: for a child, the ahead-of-time cards, the printable fingerprint record card, and the tracking teaching on the Missing Persons page stand beside this sheet. For an elder, the elder teaching — the card in every pocket, Project Lifesaver, Silver Alert — stands beside it. This system does not replace those pages; it is the page they all point to when someone asks, what do we hand the police?

Part 1 — Your Findable Sheet

Fill it in once, in a calm season, and keep it current. Print it twice: one copy for your person, one that stays home — because a sheet only helps if someone else can hand it to the police.

This sheet is for: yourself.

Fill it in for yourself, print two copies: one for your person, one that stays home.

Your name Phone number Carrier — your phone company Phone IMEI

To find the IMEI: dial *#06# on the phone — the long number that appears is it. It is also on your carrier account. The IMEI is how police and carriers flag the device itself.

Car — license plate Car — make Car — model Car — color

Emergency contacts — in the order to call them

First contact — name First contact — phone number Second contact — name Second contact — phone number Third contact — name Third contact — phone number Code word

One ordinary-sounding word or phrase that means "send police to my location." It can be said out loud in front of anyone and sound like nothing. Choose it together with your person, and keep it inside the family.

Medical must-knows Where the missing-person card and fingerprint cards are kept

The ahead-of-time cards are taught on the Missing Persons page. Say where yours live, so your person can find them in the hard hour. Make yours here: the printable fingerprint record card — print it, ink the prints by hand, and keep it with your family's important papers.

Nothing is saved yet on this device. Fill in what you can — even a few lines help — and save.

Part 2 — The phone setup checklist

A sheet is paper. This is the phone itself, set up to be found. Tick each one as you set it — the ticks are remembered only on this device. Every item's how-to stands in the phone section of the Electrical Safety page.

Find My / Find My Device ON — with Send Last Location. So the phone can be mapped, rung, and locked, and a dying battery still reports where it was. How, on the Electrical page.
Emergency SOS learned, and emergency contacts set. The rapid button press that calls for help and alerts your contacts with your location — learned before you need it. How, on the Electrical page.
Live location shared with my person — and only my person. One trusted name on the list, reviewed by hand. How, on the Electrical page.
Unknown-tracker alerts ON. So the phone itself warns you if a tracker you do not own is travelling with you. How, on the Electrical page.
Call forwarding checked OFF — with the code *#21#, taught step by step. So the only phone your calls reach is yours. How, on the Electrical page.
Medical ID filled in. So first responders can see the must-knows even while the phone stays locked. How, on the Electrical page.
Carrier SIM-change / port-out protection ON. The PIN that keeps your number from being moved to someone else's phone. How, on the Electrical page.

Part 3 — Your check-in plan

Write your own plan. A plan only exists when the other person holds it too — so this plan prints with the sheet, and your person keeps a copy.

My person — who holds my sheet and watches my check-ins My check-in times If I miss a check-in — step 1 If I miss a check-in — step 2 If I miss a check-in — step 3

I have told my person the code word, and what it means. A code word nobody else knows the meaning of is only a word. This tick is the moment it becomes a system.

Part 4 — When it happens

These four doors stand at the bottom of every printed sheet, so the paper itself carries the plan. In order:

Your person calls you. A missed check-in may be a dead battery or a long meeting — the first door is always your own voice answering.
Your person calls your contacts — in the order on the sheet. Someone may know where you are.
Your person calls the police — and hands them the sheet. Number, carrier, IMEI, car, code word, last known place and time: the whole first hour of questions, answered on one page. How officers and carriers use it is taught in How authorities can find you, on the Electrical Safety page.
If you are the one in trouble and you get one moment: 911. Emergency SOS. Or the code word, said to your person in an ordinary voice. One moment is enough, if the system was built before it.

Free Grants and Free Resources for This Section

Shared for learning only, from the named public sources; programs change, so check the source. This system itself is free, and everything it uses is already in your phone. For the doors around it: Missing Persons — Help for Families for cards, fingerprint kits, and the first hours; the phone section for every setting named above; dialing 2-1-1 reaches local help of every kind, free, day and night.

Traveling?

Travel is one of the times this system earns its place. Before you go, your person at home gets the trip itself: the flight, or the ship's name, the cruise line, and the sailing dates — and your check-in plan runs while you are gone. What the checkpoints will ask, how your identity is checked at the window, and what to do if you are flagged on the way are taught on Travel Safety and Your Identity.
