How to get started
The authorities recommend that every household can manage on its own for at least three days if power, water or heat goes out. It sounds like a lot, but most of it is common sense and a few things kept ready in advance.
Here is a calm overview of what you need and what you can put together yourself. We have made it easy to buy the parts one by one or as a finished kit, so you are ready without the hassle.
Eight simple areas, based on the authorities' advice. Click through to the products that cover each one.
Count on roughly 3 litres of drinking water per person per day, and keep enough for at least three days. A family of four needs around 36 litres. Fill clean containers and store them somewhere dark and cool. A collapsible container takes up almost no space until you need it.

See light & powerIf the heating fails in winter, it comes down to holding on to your body heat. Wool blankets, an emergency sleeping bag and hand warmers make a real difference in a cold flat. Gather everyone in one room and close the door to the rest.
See warmth & shelterKeep food at home that lasts without refrigeration and can be eaten without cooking. Remember a manual can opener so you can actually get to it. We don't sell the food itself, but the tools that make your emergency supplies easy to reach.
See tools & can openersA complete first-aid kit belongs in every home. Add the personal items your household uses, and check expiry dates once a year. The Danish Health Authority also recommends iodine tablets for children, people under 40, and those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. We don't sell those, but you can read more from the authorities at the bottom of the page.
See first aidIf the water is gone, hygiene quickly becomes important. Wet wipes, hand sanitiser and sturdy bin bags keep things clean, and a bucket with a liner can serve as an emergency toilet. It sounds dull, but it is what makes three days bearable.
See hygieneIf danger arises, the authorities warn people through sirens, text messages and radio. A battery or hand-crank radio keeps you up to date even when the mobile network is down. Always call 112 in a life-threatening emergency, and keep your phone charged for as long as you can.
See the emergency radioIf cards and payment terminals stop working, a little cash at home is good to have. Gather your passport, health card and insurance papers in one place, ideally in a waterproof folder, so you can grab them fast. Write down important phone numbers on paper.
