What is Survivora?
Survivora is a free emergency preparedness planner that builds a household checklist from FEMA's disaster risk ratings for your US county. You enter a ZIP code and a few details about your household, and it calculates what to store and what to do for the hazards most likely where you live.
How much water should I store for an emergency?
Store at least 1 gallon of water per person per day, according to FEMA's Ready.gov. A family of 4 needs 12 gallons for 3 days and 56 gallons for 2 weeks. Pets need water too, and hot weather can double what people drink.
How many days of emergency supplies should I keep?
Keep at least 3 days of supplies, and 2 weeks at home if you can. The American Red Cross recommends a 3-day supply for evacuation and a 2-week supply for staying at home. Survivora lets you plan for 3, 7 or 14 days and recalculates every quantity.
What should be in a basic emergency kit?
A basic emergency kit holds water, non-perishable food, a first aid kit, flashlights, a battery or hand-crank NOAA weather radio, extra batteries, a whistle, medications, copies of important documents and cash. Survivora adds items for your local hazards, such as N95 masks for wildfire smoke or furniture straps for earthquakes.
How does Survivora know which disasters are likely where I live?
Survivora looks up your county in the FEMA National Risk Index, which rates 18 natural hazards for all 3,232 US counties and county equivalents. Hazards rated moderate or higher get their own section in your plan.
Is Survivora free, and do I need an account?
Survivora is free and needs no account. Your answers and checklist progress are saved in your browser. We receive the ZIP code you look up and anonymous, cookie-free usage counts, such as how many plans are created.
