Home Readiness Assessment
This interactive assessment evaluates your household preparedness across four critical areas: lighting and power, water access, food storage, and heating or cooling. Answer a few simple questions in each category to receive a personalized readiness score and specific recommendations for improvement.
What This Assessment Covers
- Light & Power - Do you have backup lighting and a way to charge essential devices during an outage?
- Water - Can your household access clean water if supply is interrupted for 72 hours or more?
- Food - Do you have non-perishable food supplies and a way to prepare meals without grid power?
- Temperature Control - Can you maintain safe temperatures during extreme weather without HVAC?
Why It Matters
87% of American homes have no backup systems for basic utilities. Most people discover their vulnerabilities only during an actual emergency, when options are limited and costs are highest. This assessment takes 15 seconds and identifies your most critical gap so you can address it before you need it.
