UK Family Emergency Plan — Printable PDF

A storm warning. A power cut. A new baby. Something on the news. There's usually a moment when you think we should have a proper plan — and then the moment passes and you don't make one.

The UK Family Emergency Plan is a 13-page printable PDF binder that gets your household ready for the things you hope never happen — power cuts, floods, fires, medical emergencies — and lets you stop holding it all in your head.

Built specifically for UK households — 999, NHS 111, 105 for power cuts, 0800 111 999 for gas, gov.uk flood warnings, your local water authority. Not adapted from a US template. Built on the UK government's 72-hour guidance.

What's inside (13 pages):

Why this pack exists. Online planner shops are full of US-adapted emergency binders that print "911", "ZIP code" and FEMA references. Buyers want a calm, polished UK plan that takes 999, 111, 105 and gov.uk seriously. This is that plan.

This pack is a planning aid. It signposts UK government and provider guidance — it is not a substitute for professional or medical advice in a live emergency. In any life-threatening situation, dial 999. Phone numbers and guidance verified against gov.uk's Prepare Campaign, the NHS, the British Red Cross, the National Gas Emergency Service and UK Fire & Rescue Services. Edition 2026/27.

Made in Liverpool. Designed for the way UK households actually run.
