Emergency Essentials
The UK government's Be Ready campaign asks every household to keep 3 days of supplies at home, in case an emergency, from severe weather to a cyber attack, disrupts the services you rely on. Its checklist covers light, warmth and staying informed: a torch, a battery or wind-up FM radio and a charged power bank.
This is our home emergency kit for power cuts and storms: wind-up and solar emergency radios, rechargeable torches and head torches, a solar power bank to keep your phone charged, a wood-burning camping stove for hot water outdoors and a large hot water bottle for cold nights. Add what you're missing a piece at a time, as the government suggests, and you're ready when the lights go out.
