Prepare for the first 72 hours—without the panic.
A compact, practical guide for ordinary people getting ready to move through a natural disaster or infrastructure failure with more clarity and less guesswork.
For ordinary households
Preparedness that meets real life where it is.
You do not need a garage full of gear or a survivalist identity to make a thoughtful plan.
Ready in 72 is for civilians, families, roommates, caregivers, and anyone who wants a calmer starting point when a storm, outage, evacuation, or other disruption changes the plan for the day.
What’s inside
The essentials, organized by the decisions they support.
A short guide you can read, use, and revisit as your household changes.
Water
Make the first decision easier when normal water access is uncertain.
Food
Choose practical fuel that fits your household, not an imaginary one.
Shelter
Think through warmth, weather, and the places you may actually go.
First aid
Keep everyday needs visible and ready to reach when routines change.
Tools
Prioritize versatile basics over a heavy pile of maybe-useful gear.
Documents
Gather the information that helps your household move with less friction.
Packing strategy
Build a bag you can lift, find things in, and refresh before you need it.
Why this guide
Prioritize, don’t pile on.
Most readiness advice starts with a long list. This guide starts with a better question: what will help your household keep moving, given the space, money, weather, and people you actually have?
A useful frame of time
The first stretch of disruption is easier to navigate when your basics are together and your next decision is visible. Use the guide to start small, then build a plan you can maintain.
Questions, answered
Keep it practical.
A good plan should get clearer—not more complicated—the more you use it.
