CAIR California

Family Preparedness Workbook (2026)

No family should have to live in fear of the unknown.

With growing concerns around mass deportation threats, preparation is one of the most powerful steps a family can take. That is why we are launching our Family Preparedness Workbook for California Families.

This free resource was created to help immigrant families:

  • Organize and protect important documents
  • Create a clear emergency plan
  • Make guardianship arrangements for children
  • Understand their constitutional rights
  • Access trusted community resources


Preparation is not panic. It is protection.

It is love.

It is responsibility.

We encourage every immigrant family, regardless of status, to download this workbook and begin having these important conversations today. Share it with your loved ones, your masjid, your church, your neighbors.

Stronger families build stronger communities.

Mini-Workbooks

We created the mini-workbooks as a smaller, more condensed version of our full Family Preparedness Workbook. They are designed to be easy to print, fill out, and share with your emergency contacts. If you want more in-depth guidance on building a strong family preparedness plan, download our full-length Family Preparedness Workbook above.
