Create a Household Emergency Plan
Most households have no plan for a power cut beyond lighting a candle and hoping it ends soon. That is fine until it lasts four days or the flood arrives. This builds a household emergency plan for realistic disruptions: what to have, who to call, where to meet, and where the documents are. Thirty minutes of preparation for a thing you hope never happens.

The household consists of [describe: e.g. two adults and a teenager, a couple with a dog, a single person in a flat].
