Questions people ask

Is the test really free?

Yes. The test and your result are free, and you do not need to give an email address. The personal plan is a paid product you can buy after you see your number.

Where does the advice come from?

From public guidance by Ready.gov and FEMA, the CDC, the American Red Cross, and the UK government's Be Ready campaign, NHS and Met Office. Every section of the plan lists its sources.

What is in the personal plan?

A 30 to 40 page plan built from your answers: the first 10 minutes of a power cut, your household's exact water, food and cash amounts, what to do before, during and after the hazard where you live, pages for your home type, kids, seniors and pets, fillable family plan pages, wallet cards and a 72-hour checklist. You get a print version and a phone version.

How do I get it after paying?

Your plan is generated within a minute or two of payment. The download link is on your order confirmation page and in your order email. You can download it again any time with the same link.

Is this medical or official advice?

No. It is general preparedness information for households. Always follow local authorities and your doctor.
