The Grey Book — Templates & Forms

Put facts, plans, and handoffs somewhere more reliable than working memory.

Actual emergency? Stop reading and use the local emergency number. In the EU, call 112. If calling is unsafe, get to a safer place or ask a trusted person to call.

What this book is for

  • What fact needs a stable place?
  • Who owns this form?
  • When must it be replaced?
What this book does

Externalize facts, plans, logs, and handoffs that should not depend on working memory.

What it hands off

A completed form does not prove safety, competence, consent, or current local accuracy.

Contents

Take a page. Put the needed fact on it. Replace it when the world changes.

The other books explain, decide, and escalate. T — Templates externalizes: it gives facts, plans, observations, and handoffs somewhere to live outside your working memory. Which matters when you are frightened, tired, hurt, overloaded, or holding a phone with one hand.

A blank form is not proof of preparation. A completed form is not proof of safety. These pages are small interfaces between attention and action.

The Grey Book’s form-grid pattern and grey accent identify its figures and templates. Each page begins with one compact resource band containing exactly the information needed to recognize and cite it: title, stable reference, and a short description. Privacy and related-resource notes remain secondary.

There are two public resource types:

  • Figure · Read only — an authored depiction or a local reference sheet. A deployer may complete local facts before installation, but readers do not edit the installed copy. Replace it when those facts or privacy boundaries change.
  • Template · Write — use a fresh copy for a new incident, observation, review, drill, or handoff.

Template catalogue — write when needed

A template is a reusable working page. Every template carries a title, stable reference, and short description before its writable content.

Badger box — forms are handles, not homework

A useful form shortens the distance between “I should remember that” and “the fact is available when needed.” Leave irrelevant fields blank, cross out a bad prompt, and send the correction upstream. The paper works for the person; the person does not work for the paper.

How to read the resource band [tmpl.1.2]

Every canonical figure or template begins with a generated identity band:

  • Title: names the resource in plain language.
  • Stable reference: [BEG:...:G:...] identifies a figure and [BEG:...:F:...] identifies a template even when page numbers move.
  • Short description: states what the resource is for before its content begins.
  • Use mode: Figure · Read only or Template · Write.
  • Privacy class: decide whether the completed page may remain visible, requires local review, or belongs in protected storage.
  • Figures: stable figure references point to the read-only depiction that explains or tests the same operation.
  • Support: service references point to the professional route that can receive the completed packet.

The small related-reference line is navigation, not a second dashboard. Stable references make a copied page findable without adding another coloured box for every relationship.

Grey does not decide escalation. A form records the route, backup, destination, or threshold owned by the relevant book, service, clinical plan, product instruction, or official warning. When that source changes, the installed form changes with it — the paper is a copy of the rule, never a second version of it.

Use, update, replace [tmpl.1.3]

  1. Use only the fields relevant to the current action.
  2. Update facts after a move, service change, failed route, care change, or privacy change.
  3. Replace a detached page when its version, review date, physical condition, or local truth no longer matches the installation.

The stable address travels with the page. Sensitive content does not become safe merely because the form has excellent typography.

For a local operational fact, freshness travels with the fact. Where it applies, record the source or authority, the date checked, a review-by date, and a backup source. A number on its own is not the fact: scope, access channel, and hours are part of it, and they do not always match even for the same service. “We checked this recently” is provenance, not proof that a remote service is reachable this minute.

Who fills what? [tmpl.1.4]

Role Owns May support Must not assume
Author generic structure, evidence, build, revision examples and defaults local numbers, rooms, relationships, consent
Deployer local facts, placement, supplies, maintenance calm-time completion with readers permission to publish private medical or safety data
Reader moment-to-moment observations and choices feedback and personal plans responsibility for maintaining the whole installation
Helper factual observations and agreed actions calls, writing, transport, handoff authority over the affected person when they can decide

Comfort inventory belongs to both reader and deployer. The deployer makes resources findable; the reader decides what is useful. A blanket can be stocked without being compulsory. This resolves the false choice between “the reader should know themselves” and “the deployer should prepare the room.” Preparation and agency are different jobs.

Deployment cover and ownership card [tmpl.1.5]

FigureRead only[BEG:T:G:002]

Identity, ownership, version, and review date for this copy.

Prepared by: deployer before installation; replace when local facts or privacy boundaries change.

Privacy: shared-safe

Why: An unlabeled guide slowly becomes archaeology. Someone needs to know which copy this is, who maintains it, and when local facts expire.

Location and access card [tmpl.1.6]

FigureRead only[BEG:T:G:006]

Verified address, access barriers, exits, and meeting point.

Prepared by: deployer before installation; replace when local facts or privacy boundaries change.

Privacy: shared-safe

Why: Dispatchers can work with imperfect prose. They cannot send help to an emotionally accurate but geographically unspecified bathroom.

Location fact Fill before deployment
Street, number, postal code, city, country
Coordinates
Height above sea level, when locally useful
Building / entrance / rear building
Floor / room
Bell / name on entrance
Lift, stairs, locked doors, access barriers

Do not publish hidden-key locations, alarm codes, escape-shelter addresses,
or details that increase danger for someone facing violence.

Emergency call card [tmpl.1.7]

TemplateWrite[BEG:T:F:003]

A writable launch pad for the facts a dispatcher needs.

Privacy: shared-safe

Why: Externalizing the first facts frees working memory. The call handler will ask the questions in the order needed; this card is a launch pad, not a script to read over them.

I am at: ________________________________________________
What happened: _________________________________________
The person is: awake / unresponsive / unsure
Breathing: normal / abnormal / unsure
Immediate danger at the scene: __________________________
Started / last known well: ______________________________
People affected: ________________________________________
Callback number: ________________________________________

Put the phone on speaker when safe. Do not hang up until the dispatcher says to. The dispatcher may coach first aid while help is being sent.

Local professional contacts [tmpl.1.8]

FigureRead only[BEG:T:G:005]

Verified local names, channels, hours, and backups.

Prepared by: deployer before installation; replace when local facts or privacy boundaries change.

Privacy: shared-safe

Why: “Find local help” is not a route. A usable entry has a verified name, number, scope, hours, access channel, and backup.

Need First route Hours / access Backup / escalation Source · checked · review by
GP / regular practice 116 117 / 112 as appropriate
Pharmacy / night service
Emergency department 112 for a life-threatening emergency
Regional poison centre 112 for severe or life-threatening symptoms
Psychiatric crisis service 116 117 / 112 according to urgency
Sozialpsychiatrischer Dienst
Violence support / shelter safe-device notes: 110 / 112 for immediate danger
Municipal emergency housing — day
Municipal emergency housing — night 110 / 112 only for immediate danger or emergency
Accessible / powered safe place barriers confirmed: 116 117 or clinical route when urgent but not life-threatening; 112 when essential care is failing with imminent serious harm
Youth emergency service 110 / 112 for immediate danger; otherwise the local youth route
Gas-network emergency service call from outside 112 for fire, explosion, severe symptoms, or danger to life
Building utility / caretaker
Veterinary emergency service
Other local route

Comfort inventory [tmpl.1.9]

FigureRead only[BEG:T:G:001]

Ordinary regulation resources made findable before overload.

Prepared by: deployer before installation; replace when local facts or privacy boundaries change.

Privacy: shared-safe

make useful ordinary things visible; do not turn them into a test.

Resource Present and findable? Reader says it helps? Location / note
phone and working charger ☐ ☐
power bank ☐ ☐
charged light ☐ ☐
drinking water ☐ ☐
warm layer / blanket ☐ ☐
cool cloth / cleaner-air place or safe-air route ☐ ☐
stable seat or support ☐ ☐
familiar music / quiet ☐ ☐
visual book / comic / simple game ☐ ☐
notebook / pencil ☐ ☐
safe person / agreed contact ☐ ☐
prescribed plan ☐ ☐ private location:
safer next room / outdoor place ☐ ☐

No score proves safety. Zero checked boxes means “obtain one useful resource,” not “you failed comfort.” Avoid candles, smoke, incense, and strong scents when air safety, asthma, migraine, sensory sensitivity, or judgement is uncertain.

Five-minute values bridge [tmpl.1.10]

TemplateWrite[BEG:T:F:006]

One value translated into one bounded next action.

Privacy: private-or-shared

Why: A value is a direction. A five-minute action is small enough to start without demanding that one bathroom visit solve the republic.

Prompt Your answer
Value I want to express
One action under five minutes
What makes it small enough
Person or resource involved
Stop condition
What I will check afterward better / same / worse / different problem

Filled example

Prompt Example
Value I want to express responsibility
One action under five minutes text Mara: “I left abruptly because I was overloaded. I am safe. I will call tomorrow.”
What makes it small enough one factual message; no full conflict analysis tonight
Person or resource involved Mara; phone charger
Stop condition send once; do not begin a ten-message trial
What I will check afterward whether the next need is rest, repair, or professional help

Observation and vital-sign log [tmpl.1.11]

TemplateWrite[BEG:T:F:011]

Changes and actions recorded for a clinician or dispatcher.

Privacy: private

observe change and improve the handoff; never use one device value to cancel a red flag.

Date/time Response / orientation Breathing Pulse / device reading Symptoms and location Action taken Better / same / worse

Device / cuff / oximeter notes: _____________________________________________

Medication or substance already taken, with dose/time: ______________________

New confusion, unresponsiveness, abnormal breathing, severe breathlessness, stroke signs, collapse, severe bleeding, or another red flag → 112.

Nice-place and low-demand activity map [tmpl.1.12]

FigureRead only[BEG:T:G:007]

Preselected reversible places and low-demand activities.

Prepared by: deployer before installation; replace when local facts or privacy boundaries change.

Privacy: private-or-shared

Why: Alarm makes every destination look equally unavailable. Precomputing a few reversible options gives the exit somewhere to go.

Need Place / item Access barriers Backup
quiet
another person nearby
cleaner air / safe-air route
warmth
low light
charger
simple food
safe exit
short walk / sit in a confirmed safe place
drawing / folding / puzzle
familiar sound

Optional public collection of low-demand activities: artifacts.fkr.dev. Check the destination before printing it as a promise; websites are not load- bearing walls.

A “safe-air route” is incident-dependent. Smoke, an outdoor chemical release, or another official warning can make staying inside, closing ventilation, or leaving by a named route safer than simply going outdoors. Orange and the current warning authority own that decision, not this table.

Safe-place and exit map [tmpl.1.13]

FigureRead only[BEG:T:G:008]

Confirmed destinations, access routes, backups, and escalation.

Prepared by: deployer before installation; replace when local facts or privacy boundaries change.

Privacy: context-sensitive

a safe place is a confirmed destination plus a backup—not the phrase “go somewhere safe” wearing sensible shoes.

Route Confirmed destination Transport / access Contact Backup Escalation
person or active threat 110 for an active police matter; 112 when life, medical, or fire danger is present
no weather-safe roof tonight local accommodation route; 112 if exposure or another emergency becomes life-threatening
place fails mobility, power, medication, child, caregiver, or animal needs name the failing function; 116 117 or a clinician when urgent but not life-threatening; 112 when essential care is failing with imminent serious harm
physically safe but socially/internal crisis crisis or social route; 112 for acute self/other danger or inability to remain safe

Code word / check-in plan, only where safe to record: ________________________

Medication, power, and care continuity card [tmpl.1.14]

FigureRead only[BEG:T:G:003]

Medication, power, care dependencies, runtime, and approved backup.

Prepared by: deployer before installation; replace when local facts or privacy boundaries change.

Privacy: private

Why: Essential care should not depend on remembering runtime and backup instructions after the power has already failed.

Essential need Current resource Remaining runtime / quantity Approved backup Destination / contact Escalate when
medication
powered device
refrigeration
communication
mobility / transfer
caregiver / dependant
other

Use the affected person’s clinical, manufacturer, utility, or care plan. Do not invent battery bridging, oxygen changes, medication substitutions, or transport techniques from first principles during an outage.

Household continuity board [tmpl.1.15]

FigureRead only[BEG:T:G:004]

Owners, backups, checks, and escalation for essential functions.

Prepared by: deployer before installation; replace when local facts or privacy boundaries change.

Privacy: shared-safe

Function Owner now Backup person Next physical action Next check Failure route
air / hazard check
essential medical care
temperature / shelter
water
communication / warnings

sanitation
dependants / animals

A role is an assignment, not a personality. Reassign it when the owner is exhausted, absent, unsafe, or becoming the single point of failure.

Installation and wet-room audit [tmpl.1.17]

TemplateWrite[BEG:T:F:016]

Wet-room readability, reach, privacy, glare, and physical handling.

Privacy: shared-safe

Why: A layout can pass a renderer and still fail beside a reflective tile, behind a door, below a leaking pipe, or beyond the reach of the person expected to use it. Test the installation, not the concept art in your head.

Check Observation Pass / change Owner and date
readable from the intended position
glare in daylight and artificial light
readable during low light / power loss
reachable while seated, standing, or mobility-limited
pages turn with one hand
sleeve, clip, folder, or box stays stable
water, steam, cleaning spray, and condensation route
door, window, heater, flame, and ventilation clearance
shared pages reveal no private or dangerous information
private pages can be found without being publicly exposed
pencil, writing surface, light, charger, and forms are present
version and next review date are visible

Photograph the installation only when the image does not expose private fields, keys, security details, or another person without permission.

Route drill and timing log [tmpl.1.18]

TemplateWrite[BEG:T:F:018]

Calm-time timings and friction from finding to handoff.

Privacy: do-not-use-real-private-crisis-details

test finding and handoff, not theatrical panic.

Use invented or sanitized facts. Stop the drill immediately when someone becomes distressed or a real event interrupts it.

The times below are provisional interface targets, not reader performance standards. A slow stage means “find the friction in the installation,” never “this person failed the emergency guide.”

Stage Target Observed time Friction / wrong turn Change before next drill
notice the guide 10 s
choose the correct subguide 20 s
find the first action 20 s
locate factual address/access card 20 s
choose 112 / 110 / 116 117 / local route 30 s
find a verified backup 30 s
complete a five-field handoff 60 s

First-aid figure usability review [tmpl.1.19]

TemplateWrite[BEG:T:F:015]

Usability test for action, sequence, geometry, and limits.

Privacy: anonymous-or-consented

Why: “The diagram is technically correct” is weaker than “a reader who has not seen it before can point to the intended action and explain the limit.” This sheet reviews the picture; it does not certify first-aid competence.

Reviewer role: instructor / trained layperson / no prior CPR practice / other

Figure: CPR location / AED sequence / recovery position / triage overview

Prompt Observation
What do you think this figure asks you to do?
Where would your hands / pads / body position go?
What action comes first?
What would make you call 112?
What part is unclear, misleading, or too small?
Did labels, sequence, and arrows agree?
Could you use it in monochrome?
Could you use it without the image, from nearby text?
What did you infer that the figure did not intend?

Result: retain / revise wording / revise geometry / replace / instructor review required

Do not practise compressions, rolling, shocks, or airway manoeuvres on an unconsenting person. Use approved training equipment and qualified supervision for physical practice.

Maintenance and replacement inspection [tmpl.1.20]

TemplateWrite[BEG:T:F:017]

Damage, stale facts, used supplies, and replacement actions.

Privacy: shared-safe

Item Current state Action Due / completed
guide version and build revision

water, tearing, fading, mould, or dirt
page order and missing sheets
pencils and writing surface
light, charger, cable, and power bank
first-aid supplies and expiry dates
privacy boundary still appropriate
one tabletop route completed

Immediate replacement trigger: incorrect emergency route, exposed private information, unreadable damage, missing required local facts, or a failed route with no safe workaround.

Remarks and handoff sheet [tmpl.1.21]

Quiet activity sheet [tmpl.1.22]

TemplateWrite[BEG:T:F:012]

Low-demand drawing, building, and folding prompts.

Privacy: shared-safe

These are activities, not treatment and not a test of calmness. Stop when an activity increases strain, dizziness, frustration, danger, or paper-based hostility.

Prompt: draw one letter three ways—block, bubble, impossible architecture.

Card-house challenge

  1. Make one stable triangle from two cards.
  2. Add a flat card as a floor.
  3. Stop at one storey or continue while it remains amusing.
  4. Record which failure mode appeared: sliding, bending, table vibration, cat.

Paper-folding practice

Use a square scrap. Fold corner to corner, reopen, fold the other diagonal, then bring all four corners toward the centre. This produces a small layered square, not yet a bird. A proper bird-folding tutorial needs tested diagrams and is therefore a future illustrated insert rather than confident origami fan fiction.

Take, replace, improve [tmpl.1.23]

Templates may be copied independently. Keep the resource band, stable reference, guide version, privacy class, and local review date with each detached page. A page without provenance can be useful today and dangerous after three phone- number changes.
