How to Use the Emergency Checklist
Browse the pre-organized emergency preparedness categories — Water & Food, First Aid, Documents & Cash, Communication & Power, and Tools & Safety — and check off the supplies you have or need to gather. Use the "Add Custom Item" field for anything specific to your household that isn't already listed. The panel on the right builds your final checklist grouped by category, ready to copy as a shopping list or kit-packing guide.
Example
Checking "1 gallon of water per person per day" and "Non-perishable food" under Water & Food, plus "Flashlight with extra batteries" under Communication & Power, produces a grouped list showing those two categories with their selected items.
Common Use Cases
- Building a home emergency preparedness kit before hurricane, wildfire, or winter storm season.
- Checking an existing emergency kit against a comprehensive category-by-category list.
- Creating a shopping list of missing emergency supplies to pick up in one trip.
FAQs
- How is this different from the Emergency/ID Contact Card Generator? The Emergency/ID Contact Card Generator builds a personal identification and emergency-contact CARD meant to carry with you (your name, medical info, and emergency contacts). This Emergency Checklist is instead a PREPAREDNESS SUPPLIES list for building an actual emergency kit at home — a completely different purpose from a personal ID card.
- Can I add items that aren't in the pre-set categories? Yes — use the "Add Custom Item" field to add anything specific to your household, and it will appear in the Other section of your final checklist.
- Is my checklist saved for next time? No — the list resets when you reload the page, since it's generated fresh in your browser each visit rather than stored anywhere. Copy your finished list before closing the tab.
