Choose a checklist for your household
Start with the 72-hour checklist if you are building your first emergency kit. It organizes the core categories in one place so you can compare the list with supplies you already own. Use the bug-out bag checklist for items you can carry, and the vehicle checklist for supplies that belong in the car. They serve different purposes; you do not need to buy every item from every list.
Choose a storm checklist when that hazard is relevant to where you live. Tornado, hurricane, and winter-storm checklists organize tasks by phase so you can separate advance planning from actions during a disruption. The power-outage checklist focuses on the loss of electricity. For regional planning, see our Philippines preparedness section.
Make the checklist useful offline
Open the checklist that fits your situation, read it online, then use its print or PDF option. Mark what you already have, write down what is missing, and divide remaining tasks among household members. Keep a paper copy where you can find it without a phone or internet connection.
Review your copy when your household, storage space, or equipment changes. The monthly prep calendar can help you spread routine reviews across the year. A checklist supports your household plan; current emergency instructions should come from local authorities and the official sources linked in our guides.
