Build Your Custom Kit

Step 1

Step 1 (Household Information)

Building an emergency kit today will help you and your family gather the food, water and supplies that you'll need for future emergency situations. After you answer just a few questions about your household, you can print customized shopping lists for three days, one week and/or one month supplies of food and water. You can also print a plan for determining quantities of food and water for one year.

  • The customized shopping lists are intended only as general guidelines for food and water storage in your codeReady Kit.
  • Food amounts are based on servings from five basic food groups.
  • If there are foods that you or your family don't like or can't eat, substitute other foods in the same food group that are more appropriate.

When you print your shopping lists, other useful lists will also print:

  • Pet Shopping List
  • Supplies Checklist
  • Medication Checklist

Why do I need to enter my name and address?
The kit you make is specific to you, your family, and where you live. When you build a kit, the information is used only to provide you with shopping lists for food and water based on the number of household members and their ages. At the same time, your privacy is very important to us. (See the privacy policy for more details.) None of your information is saved on this website or in a database. It is retained only for the duration of your visit. Once you have created your kit, we recommend that you save your kit to your computer, print it, or email it to yourself or others to retain a copy.
