Preparedness Assessment

Personal & Family Preparedness Assessment

This assessment helps gauge your readiness for disruptions like weather events, power outages, financial crises, or health emergencies.

Question 1 of 25

How much potable water do you have stored per person (consider family size; aim for 1 gallon/person/day)?

Less than 3 days (high risk in outages) 3-7 days (basic short-term coverage) 8-14 days (good for moderate disruptions) 15+ days (strong resilience for extended events)

Water is critical. Think about contamination risks. FEMA recommends at least 3 days, but 2 weeks provides buffer for supply chain issues.
