How it works

Answer 8 questions

Your zip or postal code, your home, your family, your vehicles. Five minutes, no account.

See your ARQ

One score, 0–100, across six readiness categories — weighted for the hazards where you actually live.

Follow your plan

Specific items, exact quantities for your household, and where to keep them. Check things off and watch your ARQ climb.

No bunkers. No 40-pound buckets of beans. Just the short list your household actually needs — and where to keep it.

How ARQ is calculated

One number for “are we ready?”

Your ARQ weighs six readiness categories — power, water, air, structural, mobility, communications — against the hazards in your region, the home you live in, and the vehicles you already own. Deterministic and inspectable, never a black box.

Power Resilience82

Your hybrid covers the fridge — solar would extend it.

Water Security45

Storage is started; purification is the gap.

Air Quality12

Smoke season needs more than masks.

How we choose products

One best pick per need, chosen on merit against the alternatives. Commissions never change a ranking — never pay-for-placement — and where FEMA, CDC, or Red Cross guidance exists, the plan follows it.
