Frequently Asked Questions
01 How long does it take to build an emergency plan?
Between 5 and 10 minutes. Our planner asks a few questions about your family, home, and location, then automatically generates a personalized plan with a shopping list.
02 How much water should I store for an emergency?
The WHO and Public Safety Canada recommend at least 4 litres of drinking water per person per day. For a family of 4 over 3 days, that is 12 litres of drinking water plus water for sanitation. Our calculator adjusts the amount for your climate and situation.
03 What emergency scenarios does EmergencyKitLab Canada cover?
We cover 8 scenarios: storms, tornadoes, wildfires, winter storms, earthquakes, blackouts, floods, and pandemics. Each scenario applies specific modifiers to the quantities in every category.
04 Are the recommended products reliable?
Every product is verified and available on Amazon with Prime shipping. We select products rated 4 stars or higher with hundreds of reviews. We offer 3 budget tiers: Basic, Standard, and Premium.
05 Can I save and share my plan?
