I like this form for recording personal information. Uh, but they don't store the info somewhere in their own files, do they?

You should consider scanning the binder into a flash drive, in case you need to take it with you.

Thanks Blast!!! My book is not near what it should be and can be. I'll be "straightening" my book out per your parameters.

Thanks for the wake-up call.

For what it's worth - we have a similar binder at the fire company, one in each truck - but we're 97% done converting it to a stand-alone "hyper-document" (web site) that allows us to:

a) Keep the whole darn book in the form of a CD-ROM (the current book is in a 4" binder! it's HUGE!)
b) Concurrently issue updates to all copies
c) Embed multi-media in the book

Once that's done, we're going to try to get a grant or donations to buy laptops for each truck, or at least some of them.

Hmmm. Do the laptops have to be 'hardened?' Sounds like they could be fairly cheapp if what they are for is running a MM document...

I think the two Operation Hope documents the EFFAK and PDPG will be great places to start. Thanks all for your input.

I'll be e-mailing the pdf's tonight. Currently it's a zipped file a 7-8MB in size. If you have a slow internet connection it'll take you a while to download. Should I break it up into smaller peices?

I don't use their form so no they get no personal information, I downloaded the blank and used it as a template.
Since I already have most of my important documents scanned I simply made a master document which links to most of the other information. So I just open and print for a paper copy.

Blast,

No problem.

I live to serve (except on the weekend then I live to mow).

Thanks for taking the time to list all that out, It's given me a bunch of ideas for our household binder.

You probably should, just becuase a lot of mail servers will see a 7MB attachment and assume it is something naughty like bootleg music.
