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.
Your hybrid covers the fridge — solar would extend it.
Storage is started; purification is the gap.
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.
