Our family emergency guide
Everything here works offline and prints cleanly. Read it calmly now, so it is familiar when it matters. Start with My Plan and the go-bag checklist.
Start anywhere. Each section takes about 15 minutes to read.

How to use this guide
- Open every page once while online. After that, the whole site works with no internet — the pages are stored on your phone. (Opening the home page installs everything automatically.)
- Add it to your home screen. On iPhone: Share button → “Add to Home Screen”. On Android: browser menu → “Add to Home screen” or “Install”. It then opens like an app, even offline.
- Fill in My Plan together. Ten minutes with the whole family: phone numbers, meeting points, the out-of-area contact.
- Build the kits. Work through the checklists over a few weekends. A half-finished go-bag still beats no go-bag.
- Print the essentials. Print the Emergency page, your plan, and the checklists. Paper needs no battery. Keep copies in the go-bags.
- Practice twice a year. Walk the evacuation routes, test the meeting points, taste the stored food, refresh the water.
