READY is the 273-page crisis manual and workbook that shows your family what to store, what to build, and exactly what to do hour by hour, from the first minute of a blackout to month three.
On 28 April 2025, Spain and Portugal lost power within seconds. Trains stopped between stations. Traffic lights went dark. Card machines died and shops took cash only. Millions of people discovered, at the same moment, how little they knew.
That's the real problem. It isn't the missing shopping list. It's the first hour, when you don't know whether to stay or go. It's the fourth hour, when the food in your fridge stops being safe. It's day two, when phones die and nobody knows where to find water.
Government leaflets give you a checklist and stop there. Survival books are written for bunkers and forests. Your family needs a calm, step-by-step manual for your own home: what to do on Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, and beyond.
That's what READY is.
Real pages from the book: diagrams, decision trees, checklists and fill-in logs, built to be used, not just read. Tap any page to open it.
…here's a glimpse of what you'll find inside READY. Each line points to the chapter that explains it step by step.
Separate print-ready PDFs, so you can print just the pages you need, stick them on the fridge, and slip copies into every go-bag.
19 fill-in pages: contacts, medical cards, inventories with expiry dates and a 30-day crisis log.
Emergency numbers, the ten numbers to remember, a quantity calculator and conversions.
Cut-out cards for every adult and child: contacts, meeting points and medical information.
The stay-or-go decision tree and your first-hour card. Pin it inside a kitchen cupboard.
Work through the first weekend of READY. If you don't feel more prepared, email us within 30 days for a full refund.
No. It's written for ordinary families in a calm voice. It starts with the most common emergencies (blackouts, storms, floods, payment outages and supply problems) and also covers rarer, serious ones such as cyberattacks, conflict and radiation. No bunkers, no weapons, no fear-mongering.
Yes. It uses metric and imperial units throughout and explains where rules differ: emergency numbers, licence-free radio bands, and official advice in the EU, UK, US, North Africa, the Middle East and Japan.
No. The tech chapters (mesh messenger, offline AI, radio) start from zero and give a ready-made option for beginners before any soldering. Everything else is plain checklists and step-by-step instructions.
It teaches first aid and evidence-based home care drawn from current Red Cross, WHO and NHS guidance, and says clearly when to get professional help. It doesn't replace a first-aid course, and it encourages you to take one.
A PDF at US letter size (8.5 × 11 in), plus four separate printable bonus PDFs. Read it on any device, and print the logbook and posters to keep with your kit.
You'll get a download link straight after checkout. Keep one copy on your phone and a printed copy at home.
When I saw government after government asking families to stock up, I went looking for one book that would tell my own family what to do, not just what to buy. I couldn't find it, so I made it.
READY is the book I wanted on my own shelf: calm, practical, sourced, and written so anyone at home can follow it. I hope you never need most of it. But if the lights go out tonight, I want you to open it and know exactly where to start.
P.S. If you skipped to the end, here's the deal: a 273-page crisis manual with 54 diagrams, 118 checklists, 22 recipes and 18 DIY builds, plus 4 printable bonuses. It's an instant download for $19, paid once. Spend one weekend with it and your family will be more ready than most of your street.
