Know your household
List the people, pets, prescriptions, accessibility needs, essential equipment, contacts, and routines that your plan must support.
Start here
Prepare for three ordinary days.
You do not need a bunker, a complicated system, or a room full of gear. Begin with the interruptions families experience most often, then improve one household system at a time.
Open the three-day checklistA useful first month
Four calm steps.
Each step should leave your household more capable even if you stop there for a while.
Cover three days
Gather maintainable water, familiar food, lighting, hygiene, medications, charging, and a written communication plan.
Practice one disruption
Walk through a short power outage or a quick departure. Notice what becomes confusing, difficult, or unavailable.
Improve one weak point
Choose the gap with the greatest effect on safety or daily life. Research that need before buying equipment.
Choose your next step
Start with the need that feels most real.
Keep the standard simple
Useful. Findable. Maintained.
A smaller supply you know how to use is more valuable than a larger one you cannot find, maintain, or explain to the rest of your household.
