How it works

Four simple steps. No jargon, no pressure, build it up a bit at a time.

  1. 1

    Tell us who's at home

    Adults, children and their ages, babies, cats and dogs.

  2. 2

    Pick the situations

    Power cut, flood, water outage and more. Combine as many as you like.

  3. 3

    Get your kit list

    Exact amounts: drinking and cleaning water, meals, torches, power banks.

  4. 4

    Tick off what you have

    Whatever is missing becomes a short shopping list you can print.
