Prepare for
Family Preparedness
Equipment that is especially relevant to shared household or family needs.
PRACTICAL PREPARATION FIRST
Family preparedness: everyone has a role
A family plan must work for the actual people, routines and dependants in the household.
Your first checks
- Identify children, older relatives, disabled household members, pets and essential carers.
- Agree how to contact and reunite if the usual phone service is unavailable.
- Keep key instructions, school collection arrangements and contacts accessible offline.
- Check food, water, medication, familiar comfort items and practical transport.
ONE PERSONALISED QUESTIONNAIRE
Make your own plan for this scenario.
Count the equipment you already own, get household and personal kit checklists, and prioritise the gaps. No purchase is required.
