Stay
What you need if remaining safely at home during disruption.
Power, lighting, water, warmth, first aid and essential supplies.

We insure our homes, cars and possessions. Home Emergency UK helps households prepare the people – and pets – inside them for power cuts, water outages, severe weather and unexpected disruption.
Understand what you need. Equip the gaps. Keep it ready.
Takes about 3 minutes. No obligation to buy.
Everyday disruption
It doesn't take a major emergency for normal routines to become difficult.
No electricity, charging, lighting or some normal cooking and heating.
No reliable water supply for drinking or washing.
Severe weather makes staying home or travelling difficult.
You need to leave home quickly and take essentials with you.
Most households already own some of what they need. The problem is knowing what is missing, where everything is, and whether it will work when needed.
A simpler way to think about it
Home Emergency UK is developing a simple household-readiness system designed around ordinary homes and ordinary disruption.
What you need if remaining safely at home during disruption.
Power, lighting, water, warmth, first aid and essential supplies.
What you need if you have to leave quickly.
Important documents, communication, medication needs, personal essentials and pet requirements.
How you retain information, communication and power.
Emergency radio, phone power, important contacts and household arrangements.
The difference
A household system should make the next practical step clearer, not give you more things to sort through.
Start with what you already own and fill the gaps.
Clearly labelled modules so essential equipment is easy to find.
Products selected against practical requirements, not simply lowest price.
Simple ongoing checks help keep important items usable and current.
Buy what you need. Know where it is. Know it's ready.
The product concept
Rather than a bag filled with miscellaneous products, the intention is to create an organised household system with clearly identifiable modules.
Everything has a place. Everything is easy to find.
The final specification will be shaped by households taking part in our early testing.
What matters most
We spend hundreds of pounds each year insuring homes, cars and possessions. Yet many households have never made a simple plan for how they would cope if everyday services stopped working.
Preparedness is ultimately about the people and animals who depend on you.
