Receive emergency folder

With the emergency folder you can prepare for emergencies by compiling all the important information in one place.

Detailed description

An emergency folder is a written collection of important information that enables your relatives or authorized persons to make decisions for you if you are unable to do so yourself. In an emergency folder you can collect all the important information in the event of your death, an accident or illness:

  • They can indicate illnesses, medications and allergies.
  • You can summarize information about your insurance, accounts, savings plans and loans.
  • You can provide information about your subscriptions (club memberships, websites, accounts or mobile phone contracts).
  • You can specify who should be informed in the event of a death, accident or illness and who should be excluded from which information.

In Hamburg, the Bergedorf District Office, in cooperation with the District Senior Citizens' Advisory Board, provides you with a form for preparing such an emergency folder.
