Why households are making a plan now

On 22 October 2026 the UK Government launched Be Ready, a campaign asking every household to be ready for around 3 days of disruption to things like power, water, phones and the internet. The advice is simple: drinking water, food that keeps, and the essentials your home relies on. With winter storm season here, it makes sense to sort it calmly now, not during the next power cut.

The advice tells you what to have. This planner tells you how much, for your home.

Family organising food, drinking water and household supplies, from the printable planner

Would you know what your household needs for three days?

  • How much drinking water should we plan for?
  • What food can we use without cooking?
  • Have we accounted for children, pets, dietary needs or medicines?
  • Where are the supplies, and when should we check them?

Without a plan, most people either guess and leave gaps, or buy far too much at once. Neither is necessary.

Why not just use the free government advice?

The official advice is a great starting point, and this planner is built on it. The difference is that you finish with a plan for your own home.

How it works

Three calm steps to a household plan

01

Map your household

Record the people, pets, dietary needs and medicines in your home.

02

Plan food and water in one evening

The planner and the app turn your household into clear totals and a simple meal map.

03

Build it over four shops

Add a little to your normal shopping each week. No trolley-filling, no big one-off spend.

The result

By the end of one evening, you’ll know:

  • Exactly how much drinking water your household needs
  • What you’ll eat for 3 days, even if you can’t cook
  • What to buy first, and what you already have
  • That the children, pets and medicines are covered
  • Where everything is, and when to check it

No guessing. No panic buying. Just a plan you can trust.
