How the Outage Prep Planner works
Check off items as you gather them, edit any suggestion to match what you actually have, and add your own items to any category — the checklist covers power, food and water, medical needs, communication, safety, and important documents.
When it's ready, click “Print / Save as PDF” to get a clean, checkbox-ready printout you can keep with your emergency supplies or share with family members.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add my own items to the checklist?
Yes — every category has an "Add item" button, and you can also edit or remove any of the pre-filled suggestions, so the final checklist reflects your household's actual needs rather than a generic list.
How do I save my progress?
Nothing is saved automatically between visits, so build out your checklist and print or save it as a PDF once it's the way you want it, rather than checking items off gradually across multiple sessions.
Why does the checklist include documents and cash, not just power and food?
A real outage often disrupts more than electricity — card payment systems, ATMs, and access to physical records can all be affected too, which is why a thorough preparedness checklist commonly covers documents and cash alongside the more obvious power, food, and medical essentials.
