Equipment highlights use the proposed reference configurations, not equal household sizes. Prices are shown for each household size. No kit guarantees a duration of self-sufficiency.

Choose for the people in your household and plan separately for pets, visitors, food, drinking water and medication. If you rely on powered medical equipment, discuss an emergency backup plan with your healthcare provider; a larger kit is not a substitute.

Why prepare

Why prepare for a blackout?

Being prepared isn't about fear. It's about knowing your household can stay safe, warm and calm while things get back to normal.

Power cuts happen

Winter storms, flooding and faults on the network can leave homes without electricity — sometimes for hours, occasionally for days.

Everyday systems stop

No power can mean no heating, lighting, cooking, fridge or freezer. Card payments, lifts and some water supplies may be affected too.

Staying informed gets harder

Mobile signal and broadband can drop out. A battery or wind-up radio keeps you connected to local updates.

Help may be stretched

In a wide-scale disruption, services prioritise the most vulnerable. UK Government guidance encourages every household to plan ahead.

Preparedness guide

The first 72 hours

Plan for the first three days of disruption with equipment, food, drinking water and personal medication. Our proposed kits are not a complete 72-hour supply.

    Information and warmth

    • Keep fridge and freezer doors closed to hold the cold
    • Gather everyone into one room and layer up
  3. 0312–24 hours

    Water and food

    • Store sufficient drinking water separately; needs vary with health, activity and temperature
    • Keep food that is safe to eat without cooking; discard perishables if safe storage temperatures cannot be maintained
    • Never use a camping stove or BBQ indoors
  4. 0424–72 hours

    Sustain and stay connected

    • Keep checking official updates on your radio
    • Use charged power banks sparingly; capacity and compatibility vary
    • Review supplies each morning and adjust
