STAND APART. STAY READY. Practical equipment. Clear reasons.

One questionnaire for your household. Choose the UK disruptions you are preparing for, including staying safely at home (bugging in), leaving home (bugging out), power cuts, water shortages and journeys. Answer only relevant questions about adults, children, dependants, pets, transport and equipment you already own. Plan from 3 days to 2 years, with longer-term resupply considered separately. Get individual bag lists, shared household supplies, tools, priorities and one printable plan. Free to use, with no account or purchase required.

YOUR SITUATION. YOUR PLAN.

A quicker plan, tailored to you

Choose whether you are preparing to stay at home, leave safely, travel or handle other disruptions. Start with essential questions, or choose a full equipment audit if you want to count and assign every item. Evacuation plans include food and safe-water access during the journey and at the destination. You can change earlier answers at any time.

Start with what you already have. There are no automatic purchases, invented stock or forced recommendations.

UK situations are informed by UK Government Prepare and the 2026 National Risk Register. This is planning guidance, not a prediction. If evacuating, follow emergency-service instructions and do not delay leaving to collect equipment.

UK-wide guidance: This planner is designed for households throughout the UK. Follow your local emergency services and utility providers for current advice. For additional situations—including cyber disruption, banking outages, fuel shortages, pandemics and wider security concerns—explore our UK Emergency Scenarios guide. Not every additional scenario is a separate question in the planner yet.

For more detailed calculations after your plan, you can use our Food Reserve Planner, Water Planning Guide and Equipment Maintenance Planner. These are optional; you do not have to complete them to build your plan.
