Practical preparedness for ordinary households
When ordinary life
gets interrupted.
Have a plan.
Power cuts. Water outages. A sudden instruction to leave. Simple preparations can make a difficult day easier to manage.
UK focused · Build gradually · Make it work for your household
Two decisions. One household plan.
Stay safely.
Leave confidently.
Start with what your household needs, then work out how you would cope when the usual services are unavailable.
When home is
the safer place.
Water, food, light, warmth and the everyday essentials that help your household keep going.
Prepare to stay →02 / BUG OUTWhen it’s time
to leave.
People, pets, medicines, documents and a destination. A plan you can use when time is short.
Prepare to leave →Start small. Build gradually.
You don’t have to
do everything today.
Find your torch. Write down your important numbers. Check what’s already in the cupboard.
The book helps you build from a day to three days, then towards a week or two if your needs, budget and storage allow. Every useful preparation counts.
