PREP CHECK · MASTER REQUIREMENTS

Build a household plan around what actually applies to you

APPLICABLE CHECKLIST

What can your household reliably cover today?

Mark an item only when the requirement—not merely owning a product—is actually covered.

YOUR ACTION PLAN

Focus on the gaps with the highest practical impact

No percentage here. The result separates priority gaps from lower-priority follow-ups.

Prep Check is a planning aid, not a certification of safety or readiness. Local officials, building conditions, health needs and hazard-specific instructions may require additional actions.
