Your Be Ready emergency kit checklist
In October 2026 the UK Government launched the Be Ready campaign, asking households to keep enough supplies for 3 days. Below is every item from the official checklist. Tick what you already have; we’ll show what’s missing.
Source: beready.campaign.gov.uk (GOV.UK). Always check the official page for the latest advice. In immediate danger, call 999. To report a power cut call 105 (England, Scotland and Wales) or 03457 643643 (Northern Ireland).
