Ready Score

The government’s Be Ready campaign asks every household to be able to manage for three days if a major emergency interrupts normal life, such as a long power cut, severe weather or a cyber attack affecting essential services. The tone is “alert, not alarmed”.

Water: 3 litres per person per day, so 36 litres for a family of four.
Food: non-perishable food that needs no fridge or cooking. Choose what you normally eat.
Power and news: a torch with spare batteries, a battery or wind-up FM radio, and a charged power bank. Write down your local radio frequencies.
Health: a first aid kit, and a written list of medication names and doses. Ask for repeat prescriptions up to five working days before you need them.
Money: some cash in coins and notes.
Babies and pets: ready-to-feed formula is best, because you may not be able to boil water safely. Keep pet food and water too.
Neighbours: talk to them now about what you could share.

The UK government’s Be Ready campaign advises keeping enough supplies for three days, including 3 litres of water per person per day, food you would normally eat, a torch, a radio, a power bank and some cash.
