How it helps
The most complete emergency binder we make. Add your home type and whether you own or rent, everyone in the household including infants, seniors, and accessibility needs, your pets by type and name, and the vehicles that need a kit. Pick your local hazards — winter storm, wildfire, flood, earthquake, tornado, ice storm, extended power outage, boil-water advisory — and get a real action plan for each one, with the actual Canadian warning source and specific first actions, not generic advice. Includes a 72-hour kit sized exactly to your household and pets, a separate evacuation plan (go-bag, routes, meeting points, reunification plan) and shelter-in-place plan matched to your home type, a vehicle emergency kit, financial and digital-backup guidance, and a recovery checklist for after the emergency. We generate a personalized PDF and .xlsx file (opens in Excel or Google Sheets) built entirely around what you told us.
