What's inside
- First-Hour Card: the steps your household takes when the power goes out, who does each one, and when you check again.
- Household Needs Sheet: the people and pets who can't go without power or cold storage, their backup plan, and the point where you move them.
- Stay-or-Go and Comfort Plan: a warm room and a cool room, nearby places that stay comfortable, and the signs that mean staying home is no longer the safer choice.
- Water and Toilet Plan: how much water you need, worked out from your local agency's figure, where it is, and what you do when the water or the building's pumps stop.
- Food and Fridge Plan: your local food-safety rules, an eat-first order, a temperature log and a safe outdoor cooking plan.
- Power, Light and Information: what needs charging, how many charges your power bank really gives, your light sources and how you stay informed.
- Home Card: shutoffs, outage contacts and where everything is, for the fridge door, plus cut-out wallet cards.
- Have-and-Need Supplies List: what you already own, what's still missing and where it will live.
- Lights-Off Practice Evening: two hours without switches or outlets, three scenario cards and a results table.
- When the Power Comes Back, and Review Log: the steps for when power returns, and the dates that keep the plan current.
Every sheet also comes completed by the Thomas household, a fictional family, so you can see how a finished plan fits together before you write your own.

Who it's for
Households in a large city, in a house or an apartment, who want a written plan they have tested together. No special gear needed: start with what you already own.
This kit helps you organize a household plan. It is general information, not professional, medical or electrical advice. In a real event, follow official warnings and instructions from your local emergency services and your power company.
