The UK government’s Be Ready campaign encourages households to plan for three days of disruption. Be Readyford turns that advice into independent planning guides, a household checklist and editable equipment selections. Start with what you already own and build up gradually.
Guidance reviewed 12 November 2026. Our packages are independent selections, not government-approved kits.
Check your cupboards before adding anything new.
Plan for food, water, medication, babies, pets and your own household’s needs.
Check supplies every six months, keep devices charged and talk through your plan.
Independent guides, practical tools and links to the original government advice.
A three-day emergency kit, sometimes called a 72-hour kit, starts with the people in your UK household. Plan everyday supplies, useful equipment and personal needs before buying.
Read the guide 3 minStart with the things your household needs to do when mains electricity is unavailable. Plan the task first, then check whether your equipment can actually support it.
Read the guide 2 minThe useful first question is local: what could disrupt this home, this journey and the people you support? Use official forecasts and warnings to guide the next step.
Read the guide 2 minNo. Check what you already have and add only the missing pieces. Our categories let you build gradually. Planning, sharing contact details and checking on neighbours are useful free steps too.
Our packages are equipment shortlists. They do not include a complete three-day food or water supply, personal medication or household-specific supplies. Allow 9 litres of drinking water per person for three days, with extra for other uses, and adapt your food plan to everyone in your household.
You can use the bag to save an equipment shortlist. When an item has a retailer link, you choose and buy the product on the retailer’s website. Be Readyford does not take payment or place an order.
