Choose Household or Business mode, identify the dependency you are solving, then use KIT only where equipment materially reduces that gap. Buying hardware is not treated as a substitute for a tested plan.
Household preparedness and business continuity share some equipment, but not the same minimum operation. Choose the context before browsing.
Start with water, light, communications, food, warmth and basic power. Add redundancy only where it solves a real household dependency.
Recommendations are derived in this browser from the Business Resilience Check and continuity plan. GPN does not receive those entries. A recommendation is an equipment class to review, not an instruction to purchase.

Tiers are cumulative. Start with the essential household layer, then add redundancy only where it solves a real dependency.
Use this as a prioritisation lens, not a promise that a kit will cover every incident.
Use the filters above or change the readiness depth. Saved items stay on this device and do not require an account.
A clean, manageable reserve is more useful than relying on filtration alone.

Your vehicle can become a controlled charging source when mains power is out.
A folding panel gives a compatible station a renewable charging path.
More panel area improves daily energy harvest for a larger battery.
Useful when a 700Wh+ power station needs meaningful daily replenishment.
Panel placement often needs more cable than the bundled lead provides.
Basic measurement helps identify poor panel orientation, cable losses or a failed charger.
Hands-free light is safer for stairs, repairs, cooking prep and first aid.
Area lighting makes a room usable without candles or phone flashlights.
One headtorch per adult is more resilient than sharing one very bright lamp.
Low-level automatic light reduces trips and falls when mains lighting fails.
Wide work lighting is useful for repairs, vehicle work and temporary task areas.
Broadcast radio remains useful for official updates when internet access is unavailable.
A second radio with hand-crank charging adds redundancy to stored batteries.
Licence-exempt short-range voice communication without depending on the mobile network.
Phone numbers, radio frequencies, medication lists and meeting points should not exist only on a phone.
A whistle can attract nearby help while using far less energy than shouting.
Organised dressings, gloves and basic supplies make ordinary injuries easier to manage.
A compact mobile kit complements a larger household kit.
Extremely compact backup insulation for vehicles, grab bags and waiting for help.
A basic thermometer is useful when monitoring illness during disruption.
Useful for first aid, cleanup and sanitation tasks.
Keeping medication lists, instructions and essential documents together reduces confusion during evacuation.
Insulating the person is usually more achievable than electrically heating an entire property.
Passive warmth with no fuel, charging or moving parts.
Layered clothing keeps warmth close to the body while allowing movement around the home.
If you can safely heat water, targeted warmth is efficient and low-tech.
Simple clothing often delivers more resilience per pound than powered heating gadgets.
Reducing draughts helps a selected occupied room retain heat longer.
A manual opener prevents stored tins becoming inaccessible in an outage.
Stores a hot meal or porridge without continuing to use fuel or electricity.
Keeps boiled water or hot drinks useful for longer, reducing repeated boiling.
Food that can be eaten cold avoids depending on electricity or fuel.
Outdoor-only backup for boiling water or heating food when mains cooking is unavailable.
Can boil water outdoors using small dry biomass when appropriate and lawful.
Dedicated washable kit helps when normal kitchen routines are disrupted.
Basic hand tools solve loose fittings, battery covers, furniture and simple household faults.
Useful for temporary sealing, bundling and protecting damaged items.
Lightweight fasteners for temporary routing, bundling and repairs.
Protects batteries, documents, clothing or first-aid supplies from leaks and weather.
Provides temporary weather protection for leaks, equipment, vehicles or an outdoor work area.
Useful for surface cleaning when normal water access is limited.
Helps bridge short periods when hand-washing facilities are disrupted.
Containment matters when bin collection, leaks or plumbing are disrupted.
A backup sanitation method matters if water or drainage is unavailable for an extended period.
Measure the real draw of routers, screens, chargers and other minimum-operation loads before sizing backup power.
Keeps low-voltage broadband equipment running through short interruptions when the wider network is still available.
Provides short-runtime ride-through and controlled shutdown for sensitive business equipment.
Extends phones and compatible USB-C laptops without bringing a larger power station into the workflow.
Useful for a small minimum operation such as router, laptop, phones and modest lighting when measured loads justify it.
Adds runtime for several essential devices or higher loads where the business has quantified the requirement.
Appropriate only where a small business has demonstrated a longer-duration electrical dependency that smaller storage cannot cover.
Can extend battery endurance where outdoor space, daylight and operating pattern make solar replenishment realistic.
Provides a separate broadband path when fixed internet fails and mobile coverage remains usable.
Higher-capacity mobile failover for cloud-heavy or multi-user workflows where local 5G coverage is proven.
Can move the business between primary broadband and a secondary WAN path with less manual intervention.
A second SIM can create a genuinely different communications path if it uses a different underlying mobile network from the primary service.

Provides a simple wired fallback for laptops that normally depend entirely on Wi-Fi.
Cheap physical redundancy for routers, switches, payment terminals, printers and temporary workstation moves.
A fast removable copy can support recovery when it is part of a documented backup process and kept separate when not in use.
Can protect a controlled portable copy where the business has a genuine requirement to move or store sensitive recovery material.
