🚨 Could your household manage for 72 hours without electricity, running water or access to the shops?

The Government has updated its emergency preparedness guidance, recommending households keep enough essentials for at least 3 days in case of power cuts, water shortages or other disruptions.

We’ve broken the advice down into a simple shopping checklist. There’s no need to panic buy! In fact, that’s exactly what we want to avoid. Just pick up a few extra essentials alongside your normal weekly shopping or online orders. Chances are you’ve already got quite a few of them!

A little preparation now could make a big difference later (including to the cost of some of these items listed below). 👇 Contains aff ads

___________

💧 WATER

☐ Bottled water (3-day supply)
Allow at least 3 litres per person, per day for drinking. That’s 36 litres for a family of four over three days. You’ll need additional water for cooking and washing. We personally have a mix of bottled water (be careful how these are stored and remember they do have best-before dates) combined with some extra stored water.

Great option ➜ Amazon Still Spring Water £2.48
➜ https://amzlink.to/az0EsCUTHMZat (buy 4 packs to save an extra 10%)

Secondary option ➜ 25 Litre Water Container ➜ https://amzlink.to/az0L6eFQ41KCf but clean out first with Milton ➜ https://10ws.co/4exSt7F you can buy this on Amazon but it's often at a 30%+ premium, just buy some from the supermarkets.

Only use containers suitable for drinking water, follow the sanitising product’s instructions and ensure stored water remains safe to drink.

Careful of using other bleaches to sanitise, as most bleaches have scents, thickening agents etc. Be sure to mark dates on the containers and store in a dark area. You will need to rotate these (change the water) every ~6 months but six months isn’t a guaranteed safe storage period for all water storage methods.

___________

🥫 FOOD

☐ Non-perishable food (3-day supply)
Stock up on food that doesn’t need refrigeration or cooking, such as tinned meat, fish, beans, vegetables, dried fruit, nuts and cereal bars. Choose things your family already eats.

✅ A FEW FINAL TIPS

✔️ Don’t panic buy. Pick up a few extras during your normal shopping trips.

✔️ Check your cupboards first. You probably already own many of these essentials.

✔️ Store everything somewhere accessible that everyone in your household knows about.

✔️ Check supplies every six months, particularly expiry dates, batteries and medication. We've placed expiry dates of the food into our Apple Reminders app, it will also remind us a few weeks before to use them before they expire.

✔️ Consider elderly relatives, vulnerable neighbours and anyone who might need additional help.

💚 Being prepared doesn’t have to cost a fortune. A little planning now could make a huge difference if something unexpected happens.
