Emergency kit for 1 person
If you live alone, you are the one who has to cope if the power, water or heating goes. The authorities recommend that every household can manage on its own for at least three days - single-person households included.

Who is it for?
The kit is for you if you live alone - in a flat or a house, young or older. It is designed to take up little space in a cupboard or under the bed until you need it. If you have a pet, add it in the calculator above so the water need and checklist fit.
What's inside?
You get an emergency radio so you can follow the news even if the mobile network is down, an LED lantern for the room and a headlamp so your hands are free. A power bank keeps your phone alive, and a small first aid kit covers minor injuries.
For water we plan on three litres a day for three days - nine litres in total - and pick a collapsible carrier of a suitable size. For warmth there is an emergency sleeping bag, emergency blankets and hand warmers in case the heating fails in winter.
Good to know when you live alone
When you live alone, nobody else remembers the small things. Keep the kit where you can find it in the dark - in the hallway or near the bed, for example - and set a yearly calendar reminder to charge the power bank and lantern and check that the radio works. Consider telling a neighbour or relative that you have a kit, so you can help each other if something happens.
What you add yourself
Food that keeps without a fridge and can be eaten without cooking, your personal medication for at least three days and some cash in case payment systems are down. If you already have a radio, a first aid kit or a power bank, tick it and we take it out of the kit.
