Practical preparedness without fear
About Prepare Now UK
Prepare Now UK helps households understand disruption, make realistic plans and act safely without panic buying, fantasy scenarios or false certainty.
Who the site is for
The UK edition is for people living across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, plus British nationals living or travelling abroad. Consular eligibility depends on nationality and circumstances, not simply residence in the UK.
Why a UK edition
Emergency numbers, flood-warning services, health systems, utilities, public alerts and consular arrangements are specific to place. A global checklist cannot safely carry all of that detail.
What makes it different
- Independent from government while linking to responsible official services.
- Focused on ordinary households, access needs and low-cost preparation.
- Clear about the limits of institutions, products and generic advice.
- Designed for printing, low data and failed connectivity.
- Careful about security risks without claiming that a planning scenario is imminent.
