Reading the catalogue…
Computed from recorded earthquakes in the USGS catalogue, not estimated.
Earthquake guideFive of these — war, flood, drought, wildfire and power — are estimates from a calibrated model using geography, climatology and recent context. The earthquake figure is not an estimate: it is computed from recorded events in the USGS catalogue. Not a live news feed. Treat as planning prior.
Probability is not severity. A one-in-twenty earthquake year and a one-in-twenty power-cut year are not the same thing. The cards rank likelihood, not consequence.

Most preparedness advice iswritten to scare you.
We built this for the rest of us. People who watch the news, glance at the cupboard, and think they should probably sort something out.
The basics are simple. Water. A way to eat. A way to leave. A way to treat a wound. The details depend entirely on where you are. A flat in Tokyo is not a house in Lisbon, and neither is a cabin in Colorado.
So we made one place that answers all of it, calmly, in plain language, with links to buy what you need. No bunker. No camo. Just done.
The shortversion.
- 01
You stop guessing.
We tell you the three or four things most likely to happen where you live, and the ones that almost never will.
- 02
You stop overbuying.
Every list is built from what your government already recommends. Not what an influencer is trying to sell you.
- 03
You stop scrolling.
Each item links straight to a trusted place to buy it. One afternoon and you're done.
- 04
You travel smarter.
Going somewhere new? Check the country page before you fly. Know what the local emergency number is, what the tap water situation is, what to keep in the hotel room.
- 05
You bring your family along.
Plans you can print, hand to a partner, stick on the fridge. Kids included.
- 06
You can come back.
Risks change. We update the data. Check in once a season and you're ahead of almost everyone you know.
Three steps.That's it.
Tell us where you are.
Type a city. We pull the real hazards for that spot from public data, plus your country's official guidance.
See your kit.
A short list, written like a person wrote it. Each item explains what it does and why it matters for your situation.
Buy what you don't have.
Direct links to reputable sellers. Skip what you already own. Done by dinner.
Built forreal situations.
Built on the boring stuff.On purpose.
Every recommendation traces back to a public source. No secret know-how. No proprietary "system." Just the documents your government already published, organised so you'll read them.
Fire seasons are longer and hotter than they used to be. A short, vetted list of where to give: wildlife rescue, the firefighters, and relief for displaced households.
You might bethinking.
I'm not a prepper.
Good. Neither are we. Preparedness is what you do when you remember to charge your phone before a long drive. This is the same idea, slightly bigger. If keeping a smoke alarm in your home feels normal, this will too.
I don't know where to start.
That's the whole point. Type your city, get a list ranked by what's most likely to matter. Start with item one. You'll be further along than ninety percent of your neighbours by the weekend.
Is this reliable?
Every kit references the official agency for your country. Every product link is a real seller, not a back-alley site. We earn a small commission on some links, which is how we keep the rest of it free. We'll tell you which ones.
One afternoon.That's the whole ask.
Find your city. Read your list. Order the bits you're missing. Then forget about it until next season, because we'll remind you.
