Built around the things that actually happen
Not a doomsday manual. A working document for ice storms, outages, boil-water advisories and the week everything arrives at once.
Water first
How much to store, what to store it in, how long it keeps, and the treatment methods ranked from best to last resort.
Food that you will actually eat
Rotating a normal pantry beats hoarding. Calories, shelf life and the 30-day build-out without a giant bill.
Power and heat
Battery backup sizing, generator placement rules, and the carbon-monoxide mistake that kills people every winter.
Staying informed
Weather radios, alert systems and a communications plan that still works when the network is overloaded.
First aid
What belongs in a household kit, controlling severe bleeding, burns, and when to stop and call for help.
Money and documents
Cash in the house, insurance paperwork, and keeping copies of your identity documents recoverable.
Before you download
Is it really free?
Yes. You give an email address, the download starts immediately, and the address goes onto our mailing list - which you can leave at any time with one click. That list is how the site is paid for.
Will I be spammed?
No. You will get the occasional preparedness email, not a daily barrage. We do not sell or share addresses.
Do I need to buy gear to use it?
No. Most of the guide is planning, quantities and procedures. Gear is listed last, marked optional, and where a cheap option does the job we say so.
Does it work outside Canada and the US?
Yes, with one caveat: specific alert systems, emergency numbers and weather-radio services differ by country. The planning, quantities and safety guidance are universal. Always follow your own local emergency authority.
I already have a kit. Is this still useful?
Probably. The parts most experienced households have not done are the written family plan, medication rotation and the money and documents chapter.
