Prepare your household

Current Civil Protection basic self-protection web page plus government family-plan PDFs. The general household bag has no stated duration; the older pet plan specifies three days of pet food and water.

How to use the guidance

1. Keep an emergency backpack at home and another in the car; the government basic-advice page refers to a visual list of basic materials.
2. Make a family plan: draw home/building exits, set a nearby and out-of-area meeting point, write local emergency and utility contacts, and give copies to contacts.
3. Know where and how to shut off water, electricity and gas; keep drains clear. Know smoke/CO detector and fire-extinguisher locations.
4. Plan for children, medical needs and pets. The older family-plan document recommends discussing an emergency medicine reserve with a clinician and lists at least three days of pet food and water.
5. During an incident, use official channels, limit calls to urgent needs and follow authorities. If evacuating, take the plan and bag, use designated routes, account for pets, and leave a note/contact message if safe.

Catakit / emergency backpack

• First-aid kit and emergency medicines.
• Basic necessities, can opener, cutlery, plates and cups.
• Manual or battery light and radio, with spare batteries.
• Spare home/car keys, cash and personal hygiene bag.
• Keep one emergency backpack at home and one in the vehicle, as current basic advice recommends.

Family plan

• Map home and building exits and identify backup routes; do not use lifts during evacuation.
• Set a safe meeting point nearby and another outside the neighbourhood/city.
• Write emergency, utility, school, doctor and out-of-area contact details on paper.
• Show household members how to shut off water, electricity and gas; keep drains unobstructed.
• Plan support for children, disability/health requirements and pets; older government form suggests at least three days of pet food/water.

When an emergency happens

• Listen to official radio/TV/web channels and follow authorities.
• Take the plan and emergency backpack; use designated evacuation routes.
• Contact an out-of-area person by text if possible and say where you are going.
• Bring pets and their supplies; leave a note if safe.

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.
