Canada
What the published preparedness guidance says, and how to interpret it.
What households are asked to do
Organise a portable, accessible kit with water, shelf-stable food, a manual opener, radio, torch, chargers, first aid and documents. The current federal page gives about 4 litres of water per person per day, and recommends planning extra medicines where possible.

Editorially checked: 10 November 2026. A recent review does not make an older document a new warning.
How to use the guidance
- Keep the kit accessible and portable; divide heavy contents among smaller bags.
- Review at least annually and replace expired or used contents.

Records and payment
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 kit covers leaving home or sheltering without normal services. This is an all-hazards preparedness baseline rather than a declaration of imminent war.
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.
