Frequently Asked Questions
01 How long does it take to build an emergency plan?
Between 5 and 10 minutes. Our planner asks a few questions about your family, home, and location, then automatically generates a personalized plan with a shopping list.
02 How much water should I store for an emergency?
The WHO and FEMA recommend at least 1 gallon of drinking water per person per day. For a family of 4 over 3 days, that is 12 gallons of drinking water plus water for sanitation. Our calculator adjusts the amount for your climate and situation.
03 What emergency scenarios does EmergencyKitLab cover?
We cover 8 scenarios: hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, winter storms, earthquakes, blackouts, floods, and pandemics. Each scenario applies specific modifiers to the quantities in every category.
