About Stay Prepped
Last reviewed
Stay Prepped helps UK households get ready for everyday emergencies: power cuts, water outages, floods, storms and the times when you simply cannot get to the shops. We do it with practical guides, free tools and printable checklists.
Our tone is calm and practical. Being prepared is not about fear; it is about knowing your household can cope for a few days if something goes wrong.
How we write our guides
- Guides are written by the Stay Prepped editorial team for UK readers, in plain British English.
- We link to official sources such as GOV.UK, the NHS and the Met Office, and we check that each source exists before citing it.
- We do not invent statistics, quotes or testimonials. Where we use a planning figure that is our own assumption, we say so.
- Every guide shows the date it was last reviewed.
How our tools work
- Every tool is free and needs no account.
- Calculations happen in your browser. Your answers are saved only on your device, and never sent to us.
- Each tool shows exactly how it calculates its results, including every assumption.
- The calculation code is covered by automated tests.
What we will not do
- Charge for tools or hide them behind a paywall.
- Claim to have tested products we have not tested, or publish fake reviews.
- Use scare tactics to sell anything.
If we ever earn money from links, we will say so clearly. See our affiliate disclosure.
