About this tool
Build a printable family contact tree with call priority and who does what.
The Family Emergency Contact Tree turns one pipe-separated line per contact into a structured seven-column table — Priority, Person or service, Relationship or role, Primary contact, Backup contact, Responsibility and Offline note — and counts how many rows are complete versus how many are missing a column. Type or paste your household's call list, leave the completeness check on, and you get a printable tree plus a count of the rows that still need filling in. It is for families, carers and flat-shares who want one agreed order of who is called first and who does what, in a form that still works when the phone is dead.
Open Family Emergency Contact Tree on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
In Records (one per line), type one contact per line with the seven fields separated by a pipe: Priority | Person / service | Relationship / role | Primary contact | Backup contact | Responsibility | Offline note.
Leave Require complete rows ticked so Flag missing columns counts every line with a blank field, or load the Example records preset to see the layout first.
The Structured inventory panel reports Complete rows, Needs review and Columns above the table of the first 100 records; Copy puts it on the clipboard and Download saves family-emergency-contact-tree.txt.
The first column forces you to decide who is called first and second, which is the decision people skip and then argue about in the moment.
Toggling the flag counts rows with a blank or missing column, so a contact with no backup number is caught before the sheet goes on the wall.
Every entry carries a second contact route and a stated job, so the tree survives one unreachable person.
One record per line with the seven fields separated by a pipe character: Priority | Person / service | Relationship / role | Primary contact | Backup contact | Responsibility | Offline note. Any field you leave short is shown as a dash and counted as an incomplete row.
You can enter as many lines as you like, and the rendered table shows the first 100 rows. The completeness counts cover every line you entered, not just the displayed ones.
Put the person who can physically reach the household fastest at priority 1, not necessarily the closest relative. A neighbour five minutes away is more useful in the first hour than a sibling in another city, so many families set the local contact first and next of kin second.
No. Keep the tree to names, roles, numbers and responsibilities; it is meant to be printed and left visible, so passwords, account numbers and detailed medical notes belong in a sealed or password-protected document referenced by the offline note column instead.
