Household Resilience Planner

A free, evidence-led plan for your household. Enter a postcode district to see local risks, live official warnings, what to watch and what to do — from storms and floods to a cyber-attack on essential services.

Your household

Use the first half of your postcode plus one digit (e.g. SA1 8). Don't enter names, house numbers or medical details. The checklists and kit below update as you type.

    E

    Household continuity checklists

    F

    Emergency kit & records

    Quantities follow gov.uk/prepare (at least 3 litres of drinking water per person per day) and update with your household size and horizon. Adjust for medical needs and storage space.

    Confidence & limitations

    • Postcode-district data can't tell you whether your home will flood, lose power or be affected by crime. It describes area-level exposure only.
    • During any incident, live official instructions (Emergency Alerts, Met Office, flood warnings, emergency services) take priority over this plan.
    • Flood defences, electrical work, generators and gas checks need professional advice. Tenants need landlord approval. Check with your insurer before modifications.
    • No published warning or dataset doesn't mean no risk.
    • Cyber-incident scenarios are planning assumptions from the National Risk Register, not a forecast of any attack. Follow NCSC and gov.uk for live advice.
    • This plan follows the UK Government's household guidance at gov.uk/prepare (England). Wales: gov.wales; Scotland: ready.scot; Northern Ireland: nidirect.
    • Research is generated by AI from public official sources and can be wrong. Check anything important at the linked source. Nothing you enter is stored.
