No power. No heating.
No phone. No help for days.

The Government's advice is blunt: every household must be ready to look after itself for at least 72 hours. Most aren't. HomeReady packs that kit for you - one box, delivered.

When the warning comes,
it's already too late to shop

Panic buying clears shelves in hours. No tills. No card machines. No cash machines. When the power goes, the whole system that feeds your family goes with it.

The first 72 hours

Decide everything

  1. Hour 1

    Lights, heating, Wi-Fi and chargers all die at once. The house goes dark and silent.

  2. Hour 6

    Your phone - your map, your news, your lifeline - is draining fast.

  3. Hour 12

    Supermarket shelves are empty. Card machines and cash machines stop working.

  4. Hour 24

    No hot food. No hot water. The cold starts to bite - especially for children and the elderly.

  5. Hour 48

    Emergency help goes to the most vulnerable first. Everyone else waits.

  6. Hour 72

    The households still coping are the ones who prepared before it happened.

Illustrative scenario, not a prediction.

One box. One plan. Done.
