Educational information only
Everything on Stay Prepped, including guides, checklists and tool results, is general information to help you think about and plan for emergencies. It is not:
- medical or nutritional advice
- legal or financial advice
- a professional assessment of the risks to you, your home or your family
Your circumstances may be different. Talk to a qualified professional about your situation, especially for babies, pregnancy, medical conditions, medicines and special diets.
Our tools give estimates
Our calculators use simple, stated assumptions to produce planning estimates. Real needs vary. Each tool page explains how it calculates its results so you can judge whether they suit you.
Accuracy
We take care to keep our content accurate and up to date, and each page shows when it was last reviewed. Official guidance can change, so check the official sources we link to.
Safety
Some activities described on this site, such as treating water or heating food without mains power, carry risks if done incorrectly. Follow manufacturers' instructions and official safety advice. Never use barbecues, camping stoves or generators indoors.
