Editorially checked: 10 November 2026. A recent review does not make an older document a new warning.
How to use the guidance
- Prepare for at least three days, preferably a week; check expiry dates and replenish.
- Plan family contacts, meeting points, evacuation transport and municipal supply locations.
Water and meals
Carry essentials
Vehicle additions
The checklist covers the scope stated above. Quantities from different countries are not interchangeable: drinking-only, cooking, hygiene and carry-bag allowances differ. Tick marks are temporary and are not sent to us.
Equipment mentioned in official lists still needs appropriate use: outdoor-only combustion equipment stays outside; respiratory filters must match the hazard. Follow current local instructions and the full source documents.

War, disruption & other explanations
The guidance addresses service interruptions and crisis readiness. The supply duration is not an estimate of how long an actual emergency must last.
A preparedness checklist establishes what people are encouraged to do. It does not, by itself, establish the probability, cause or date of a future crisis. No additional independently sourced theory has been added to this profile.
