Home Preparedness Plan & Emergency Kit – Family Emergency Plan, Water and Supplies | Word/PDF/Excel

Home Preparedness Plan & Emergency Kit is a comprehensive document package for individuals who want to organize their household's preparations for prolonged disruptions in electricity, water, connectivity, or community services. Collect contact methods, emergency supplies, water storage, practical measures, and completed checks in Word, PDF, and Excel.

Who is it for? Families, single-person households, and other individuals who want to work methodically on their own home preparedness. The documents are not official government forms, safety certificates, or a guarantee that a household can cope with a certain crisis.

What Do You Get in the Document Package?

Excel: Nine Tabs and Adjustable Calculations

Overview, Household, Emergency Supplies, Water, Contacts, Actions, Control Log, Information Card, and Read Me. Enter the household size, planning days, and your own water factor in the overview. The formula calculates a planned requirement that is compared with the quantity you yourself record in Water. In Emergency Supplies, the remaining quantity is calculated based on your own target values.

Example: Two people × seven days × four liters of water per person per day equals 56 liters as a planning target. If 20 liters are recorded in storage, a difference of minus 36 liters is displayed. The figures are examples; they are not filled in the customer's register. The water formula does not assess water quality and does not constitute an individual recommendation.

How to Use the Package

1. Review the household's actual needs, number of people, pets, and capabilities.
2. Choose a planning horizon and your own assumption for liters per person per day.
3. Inventory water containers and fill in the actually recorded liters.
4. Check food, hygiene, radio, lighting, and other storage items with your own target values.
5. Write down suitable contact methods and current information sources on a securely stored list.
6. Distribute remaining tasks and log actually performed checks.
7. Follow new advice from responsible authorities and update the plan after changes.

Important Information About Official Advice and Safety

Krisinformation.se advises households to plan to be able to cope on their own for at least one week. For water, the authorities' guidance states approximately 3–5 liters per person per day, but needs and storage possibilities vary. The user must always check storage, cleanliness, shelf life, actual availability, and special needs themselves.

Limitations: Excel cannot determine if water or food is safe to use, if heating or combustion equipment is safe, or how much medication a person needs. A filled-in box is not a completed safety check. Do not save bank codes, passwords, or sensitive health information in shared documents.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Preparedness and Emergency Kits

Is this a complete emergency kit with items to buy?

No. You are buying document templates and an Excel register, not physical goods. The package helps you plan, inventory, and follow up on your own storage.

How much water do I need to have at home?

The authorities' general guideline is approximately 3–5 liters per person per day. Enter your own assumption based on the household in Excel and check current guidance for storage and individual needs.

Do I get automatic reminders?

No. Dates and markings are displayed in Excel but do not automatically send email, push notifications, or SMS.

Can the template assess if the food's date or the drinking water is safe?

No. Dates only serve as a basis for your own review. Follow food and water advice from responsible authorities.

What does it mean that an action is complete?

It is a task that you have marked as completed. The marking does not replace actual functional tests, maintenance advice, or official safety checks.

Are the PDF files fillable?

The PDF files are searchable and print-friendly without interactive form fields. Use Word and Excel for digital editing.

Is the package entirely in English?

No. The five working documents and Excel are in Swedish. The English User Guide explains the usage in English.
