Prep guides

Build a roadside kit you can reach in the dark

Set up a small grab pouch and a trunk kit for breakdowns, dead batteries, and long waits.

Add a winter module to your car kit

Pack for a cold delay with passenger-sized warmth, accessible snow gear, and a plan for postponing travel.

First-Aid

Set up a home first-aid kit people can actually find

Organize everyday supplies by task, choose an accessible storage spot, and make restocking easy.

Pack a first-aid pouch for day trips

Build a compact pouch for the people, activities, and time away from help on a typical outing.

Trauma (Stop the Bleed)

Build and place a bleeding-control kit

Choose a compact kit, keep emergency supplies easy to find, and use a hands-on course to guide what you carry.

Make a training and restock plan for your bleeding-control kit

Assign someone to check the kit, track sealed supplies, and practice getting help without using the emergency stock.

Home

Set up a home kit for the first night without power

Make light, phone charging, food, and water easy to reach before the lights go out.

Make a severe-weather station for your household

Plan where to go during a warning and stage the supplies that belong near that spot.

Get Home Bag

Pack a get-home bag for your actual commute

Build a bag you’ll carry on a normal day, sized for a transit delay, a pickup, or a longer walk.

Test your backup route home before you need it

Use an ordinary daylight walk to check crossings, pickup spots, communications, and the limits of your bag.
