About this tool
Builds a household emergency kit list with exact water, calorie and supply quantities for your family size, days of cover and local hazards.
An emergency kit list with the quantities worked out rather than left to you: water at 4 litres per person per day, the FEMA one-gallon figure rounded, food sized from 2,000 kcal an adult and 1,400 a child, and every other item scaled per person, per infant or per household. Choose a three-day go-bag or two weeks of home supplies, tick the hazards that apply where you live, and it returns the full list with weights and rotation dates.

Every line gives a number — litres, calories, nappies — instead of the word 'enough'.
Shows how much of the kit is water, which is what makes a go-bag uncarryable.
Flood, cyclone, earthquake, wildfire, heat, cold and outage each add their own short list.
About 4 litres per person per day, covering drinking and basic sanitation. That is FEMA's one US gallon (3.785 litres) rounded up, and the same figure appears in Canadian and Indian guidance. Hot weather, illness, pregnancy or nursing can push the need much higher, so add half again in summer conditions.
Three days for a bag you might carry out, two weeks for supplies kept at home. The split reflects what the two kits are for: outside help usually reaches people inside 72 hours, but power, water and roads can stay out far longer, which is the situation the home supply covers.
A manual can opener, spare batteries stored outside the devices, cash in small notes, and a written list of contacts. Each is cheap and each makes something else in the kit useless when absent — tinned food you cannot open, a torch you cannot power, a shop that cannot take cards, and phone numbers on a dead handset.
Rotate stored tap water every 6 months, check food and batteries at 12, and check medicines against their own expiry dates twice a year. Pairing the check with something you already remember — a clock change, a birthday, the start of storm season — is what makes it actually happen.
