GridReady Guide organizes preparedness around the problems a household faces when normal infrastructure stops working: light, safe water, food temperature, communications, indoor temperature, essential electronics and backup energy. Start with the failure most likely to affect you, then build outward instead of buying an arbitrary pile of emergency gear.
Plan for hours first
Lighting, phone charging, information and food-temperature management cover many ordinary outages.
Then plan for days
Add water, shelf-stable meals, sanitation, thermal comfort and a realistic backup-energy strategy.
Layer specialized risks last
EMP-specific or long-grid-down measures make more sense after basic household resilience is already covered.
