No power. No running water. No mobile signal. Empty shops. It can happen after a storm, a flood or a cyberattack, or in a war. Help may not reach everyone at once, and the first few days are the hardest.

Seven Days Ready is a calm, practical and fully illustrated guide for ordinary households. It shows you what to store, what to do and how to look after the people around you, without fear and without spending a fortune.

Inside: how much water and food to keep and how to store it; a household plan and what to do in the first hour, day and week; keeping warm, fed and informed in a long power cut; first aid, children, pets, and extra support for disabled people and carers; floods, fires, air raids and other emergencies; quick action cards, checklists and cut-out wallet cards; and a Country Guide with UK emergency numbers, alerts and official sources. All advice was checked against official UK guidance in October 2026.
