Home info sheet: everything you need in an emergency
When a pipe bursts or the power goes out, nobody wants to hunt for the water shutoff or a plumber's number. Fill this in once, print it, and stick it inside a kitchen cabinet or on the fridge. It also saves the filter size and paint colors you always forget at the store.

Home info sheet questions
What should be on a home information sheet?
Where the water, electric and gas shutoffs are, who to call for each utility and trade, and the details you need at the store: filter size, paint colors and bulb types.
Where should I keep it?
Somewhere anyone in the house, a sitter or a guest can find it fast: inside a kitchen cabinet door, on the fridge, or next to the electrical panel.
Should I turn off the gas myself?
Only if you smell gas and the gas company tells you to. Otherwise, leave the house and call them from outside. Write their emergency number here so it's ready.
