We sort. You take one step.
See what matters first
Covered items move to maintenance. The hardest gaps to improvise and the slowest skills to build rise first.
Work your budget
Your 90-day plan follows a $25, $100, or $300+ monthly track.
New: interactive decision drills
A checklist tells you what to own. A scenario shows you what you'll do.
Work through a wildfire evacuation, a break-in at night, a serious bleeding incident, a winter blackout, or unrest with road closures. Each drill gives you four decisions and shows where hesitation, missing gear, or a bad assumption starts costing time.

Preparedness for real households
A prepper checklist should tell you what comes first.
Most emergency preparedness checklists give every household the same long shopping list. Useless if you're new, short on space, on a budget, or already have the basics covered.
This free prepper quiz looks at your home, climate, water source, household needs, prescriptions, local safety concerns, evacuation options, digital records, current supplies, and monthly budget. It then sorts the gaps into a clear order and gives you a personalized 90-day preparedness plan.
Start with essential systems
Water, familiar food, safe heat, essential power, and medication continuity stay central. The quiz also weighs personal safety, evacuation, communications, important documents, digital backups, account recovery, and dependable people.
Build a checklist you can afford
The action plan follows the budget you choose. Each month includes useful work that costs little or nothing, plus realistic starting ranges for supplies.
Keep what already works
Items you have covered move to a maintenance list. That keeps your emergency plan focused on testing, rotation, and the next unfinished gap instead of buying duplicates.
What do I get after the quiz?
You get your top three preparedness priorities, specific first actions, a month-by-month 90-day checklist, maintenance reminders, a shareable summary, and a personalized printable PDF.
