IF THE POWER GOES OUT

Fridge-door plan

One page for the fridge door: who to call, where the flashlight and radio are, what to do first. Big type, with space to write.

Why it is useful: in a blackout nobody can search the internet. The plan is on the fridge door.

WATER LIGHT RADIO BATTERIES FIRST AID PAPERS

Prep-bin labels

A sheet of big, high-contrast stickers for storage bins and cupboards: water, light, radio, batteries, first aid, papers.

Why it is useful: in the dark, in a hurry, anyone in the house can find the right box.

Free Open and print the prep-bin labels

Made to order: first designs

First designs, in plain words only. Nothing is printed until somebody orders it.

HALF TANK RULE

Half Tank Rule cap

Never let the fuel tank drop below half. A habit worth wearing, and a conversation starter.

Why it is useful: it carries one real rule that keeps people able to leave and to fuel up when pumps stop.

DAY FOUR PLAN PAST 72 HOURS

Day Four mug

Emergency kits are planned for three days. Day four is when you are on your own. Plan past it.

GO BAG AFTER NORMAL

Go Bag tote

A sturdy canvas tote for the papers, medicines and chargers you would grab on the way out.

PLAN BOOK LARGE PRINT

The Plan Book

A large-print notebook: contacts, medicines, supplies and your plan for the first 72 hours, on pages you can read without glasses.

Why it is useful: paper still works when the power does not, and large type is easier on older eyes.

Idea Your personal plan already prints in large type. A bound notebook only if enough of you ask for one.
