The household emergency plan

When the grid goes down,it’s too late to plan.

Find out in two minutes exactly where your household breaks: water, heat, medication, getting out, finding each other. Then build the plan that holds, for as long as it has to.

A stockpile is not a plan.

Water in the basement and a box of batteries won’t tell you who picks up the kids, how long the insulin stays cold, or when it’s time to leave. Crisis Planner finds the gaps, tests your household against real scenarios, and puts the answers on paper before you need them.

01
Find your gaps
Answer quick, multiple-choice questions about your household. You get a scorecard showing exactly where your plan breaks first.
02
Run the scenario
Test your plan against power outages, winter storms, wildfire, evacuation and supply shortages, from 72 hours out to 90 days and beyond.
03
Print the plan
Your complete plan, written for your household and printed as a tabbed binder. Paper still works when the power and the phones don’t.

See it work

Most families are covered for a weekend. Not a week.

This is a made-up family of four, worked out live. Change the outage length and watch what runs out first. The free check does the same math for your household.

Water: Short
Food: Short

Power & light: Short
Medication: Covered

Same family: 4 of 5 covered at 72 hours, 0 of 5 at two weeks. Water is planned at about 1 gallon per person per day.

Your family won’t be together when it hits.

Kids at school. A partner at work. Grown children in other cities. When the phones are dead, every one of them decides alone: stay put or come home? Go where? The plan settles that now, so nobody has to guess later.

Scenario testing

Real scenarios. Real answers.

A plan that gets you through a two-day outage can fail on day four. Your plan is tested against eight threats at four lengths each, 72 hours, 7 days, 30 days and 90 days+, and every test shows where it breaks first and the one change that would extend it.

Power outage
Extended grid-down
Winter storm & extreme cold
Wildfire & smoke
Forced evacuation
Pandemic / quarantine
Civil unrest
Supply shortages

72 hours is the minimum. Not the plan.

Governments ask you to manage on your own for a few days because that’s roughly how long help can take to reach you, not how long a crisis lasts:

Canada: 72 hours
United States: “Several days”
Norway: One week
Crisis Planner: As long as you need; 72 hours to 90 days and beyond

Crisis Planner builds your plan for the length of disruption you choose: a weekend outage, a two-week winter storm, a month of shortages, or 90 days and beyond off the grid. Every household that can hold out on its own frees up help for the people who can’t. The free check starts you with two benchmarks: where you stand at 72 hours, and where you stand at two weeks.

I built Crisis Planner because most emergency advice stops at generic lists, and a household with refrigerated medication, a power-dependent well, pets, limited fuel, or an older parent can’t rely on the same plan as everyone else. The details are the plan.
It’s made for ordinary families: look hard at your real situation, test the assumptions you’ve been quietly relying on, and leave with a short, specific list of what to do next. Not to scare anyone. To get you ready.
