72-hour kit checklist
The one everyone should do first. Water, food, power, light, first aid — a single page that covers three days.
Checklists
Print-ready emergency prep checklists tailored to how your household actually lives. Pick the one that matches your situation, tape it inside a kitchen cabinet, and tick off items as you go.
For renters
Apartment renter checklist
Prep that respects your deposit. No wall drilling, no heavy barrels, no landlord permission required.
For families
Family-of-four emergency checklist
Quantities scaled for two adults + two kids. Includes the family check-in plan and kid-specific items.
How to use a checklist
Don't try to finish one in a weekend. Aim for one item per week. In a year you'll have a fully prepared household without ever making a panic purchase. Most families who try to do everything at once burn out and finish nothing.
