NEWThe government's Be Ready campaign launched 22 October 2026

Ready for 3 days without power, water or signal.

Q: Can I buy it without water?

Yes. Choose the no-water box if you would rather store your own bottled water. You need about 3 litres per person for each day.

The government now asks every UK household to be able to cope on its own for at least 72 hours. We pack everything on the Be Ready checklist into one sturdy box, sized for your household and delivered to your door.

Line by line

What the checklist asks for, and what's in your box.

We built the box from the published Be Ready advice, line by line. The few things only you can add, like cash and your own medicines, are clearly marked, and a printed card reminds you of them.
