This kit provides a reliable foundation for basic preparedness and follows common recommendations for 72-hour autonomy. It’s an ideal starter pack for individuals or families beginning their emergency planning.

Yes — this kit and its add-ons have been designed based on the official European Commission guidelines for 72-hour emergency preparedness. Each item included addresses a specific need outlined in EU recommendations, such as:

• Basic tools for orientation, light, and signaling
• Means to stay warm and dry (emergency blanket)
• Compact tools for cutting and self-defense
• A waterproof and shockproof container to protect contents
• Accessories to ensure mobility and hydration

We’ve studied the EU Civil Protection Mechanism and various national preparedness guidelines to ensure this base kit meets the essential standards for personal safety during the first 72 hours of an emergency.

For enhanced protection, we recommend adding optional items (food rations, water bottles, specific phone chargers, etc.) — all selected according to the same EU-based framework.

Yes — absolutely. While the base kit covers the essential tools recommended for short-term emergencies, you can tailor it to your specific needs directly on this page.

We offer a selection of add-on items based on EU preparedness guidelines, including:

• Water purification options
• First aid supplies
• Portable radios or power banks
• Additional items for families, pets, or medical needs

Simply select the extras that matter most to you. Our modular approach ensures your kit stays compact and efficient — without unnecessary bulk.

If you're unsure what to add, start with the essentials and build up based on your living situation (urban, rural, with children, etc.).

Due to high demand and the nature of preparedness items, processing and delivery may take several additional business days. We appreciate your patience as we carefully pack and ship each order to ensure product quality and completeness.

As at this date, estimated shipping times are around : 7-15 business days

We prioritize sourcing from European suppliers whenever possible, in line with our commitment to local resilience. However, due to high demand of certain specialized components, we are working with reliable partners in Asia, which can slightly affect delivery times.

For logistical reasons, some kits or modules may be shipped separately. You may therefore receive multiple parcels. This does not incur any additional cost for you.

If your kit is time-sensitive or intended for an organization, feel free to contact us for faster options.

We want every European household to feel safer — not frustrated.

If you’re not satisfied with your kit for any reason, you can request a refund within 15 days of delivery.
