72 hours of chaos

Preparing your household for disruption becomes easier when you know where to start. The 90 Household Preparedness Mind Maps collection brings essential planning topics together in a clear, illustrated format, helping you turn a complicated subject into practical actions you can understand, discuss and review.

This digital collection contains 90 mind maps in British English, organised into six themes, with 15 maps dedicated to each theme: energy, water, food, transport, supplies and household planning. Each map focuses on a specific subject, using numbered sections, colourful connections, short explanations and illustrations to make the information easier to follow.

Instead of working through long chapters whenever you need to check a topic, you can open a focused visual page. Explore how to organise lighting for a power cut, prepare suitable food, keep important contacts available offline, plan alternative journeys or agree responsibilities with the people you live with.

The energy maps cover everyday preparations for power cuts, including torches, spare batteries, phone charging, offline information and household electrical hazards. They also introduce planning considerations for people who rely on essential medical equipment, with an emphasis on making individual arrangements with the appropriate care team.

The water maps help you think through storage, household needs, collection arrangements and official supply notices. Topics include choosing suitable containers, protecting drinking water, maintaining essential hygiene and understanding why different water warnings require different responses.

The food maps focus on practical household choices: familiar foods, options that require no cooking, manual tin openers, food labels, allergies, special dietary needs and storage. Dedicated pages address refrigeration disruption, food preparation and the needs of children, older relatives and pets.

The transport maps help you consider whether a journey is necessary
