THE RED FOLDER

Family preparation without borders

Prepare today. Protect what matters most.

The Red Folder helps families identify, organise and understand the important information, documents and decisions their loved ones may need in the event of an emergency, incapacity or death.

20 questions · 3–5 minutes. Results use draft scoring that is still under review.

A simple first step. No documents required.

A multigenerational family together at home

Clear information can be a lasting act of care.

Would your family know what to do if something happened to you?
