This PowerPoint presentation was shared on www.slideshare.net: Best Practices in Business Planning for Pandemic Influenza, by Jim Goble, CBCP, at National City Corporation. It's from 2006 but a lot of it is still relevant, including the Wallet Card template on slide 12.
If you've never created a Wallet Card for your organization, they're very useful. Team members may have a lot of that information on their phones, but it could be outdated. By developing and distributing a Wallet Card, they can refer to it and updates contact information in their phones. This is Crisis Communication, something a team would access during the Notification Phase of an event as well as the Assessment Phase.
Make sure you date your Wallet Cards, so employees can easily tell if they're looking at the most recent version. I recommend updating the card quarterly, or more often if important information changes.
If your organization isn't used to the idea of a Wallet Card, this can be something you introduce during Business Continuity Awareness Week, March 16 - 20, 2015.

BCAW also has a lot of information you may want to add to your toolbox. You can also sign up for the group so that you'll get reminders about Business Continuity Awareness Week.
If you know that Business Continuity Awareness is an area your organization needs to work on, make this the year that you introduce Business Continuity Awareness Week!
