Prepare your household

Plan to be on your own for two weeks.

After a major earthquake or a regional disaster, it could take two weeks or more for help and supplies to reach the North End, especially if bridges or ferries are out. Being 2 Weeks Ready means your household has enough water, food, medicine, and supplies to get by without outside help.

It doesn't have to happen all at once. Add one can to your cart every time you shop, and follow our One Hour a Month plan.
