72-hour preparedness checklist

Work through the essentials, one practical preparation at a time.

No account or cloud sync. Device-local save is optional; review the shared-device notice before saving.

Mark a prompt after checking it with your household. This is checklist progress, not a new readiness score or confirmation of usable supplies. Learning, kit selections and purchases do not automatically complete these actions.

These prompts help you identify preparations to discuss and check. They do not assess every risk or certify that a household is ready for an emergency. Follow current local instructions.
