Be prepared. Not scared.

PrepHeads helps everyday UK households answer one simple question: exactly what do I need from my local supermarket to keep everyone fed, hydrated, clean and comfortable if essential services stop for a while?

Most advice suggests rice, pasta and dried beans. But in a power cut or gas outage, those need cooking. So every PrepHeads plan uses food that's safe to eat straight from the tin or packet.

We're not about bunkers or camouflage. We're about a sensible cupboard, a few bottles of water, a good torch and peace of mind.

PrepHeads gives general guidance only. Always follow official advice from your local council, the Met Office, your water company and gov.uk.
