Is your family ready for 72 hours?
The Australian Red Cross is urging Aussies to be prepared for disruption. Emergency guidance says every household should keep three days of water, food and essentials on hand. Here's where we'd start, as a family who preps for our own four kids.
Packed. Checked. Ready.
Don't want to build it piece by piece? Our ready-made kits are hand-packed in our warehouse from the PrepPro gear our customers rate most, and save you around 15% on buying each item separately.

What are you preparing for?
Pick the emergency that worries you most. We will show you what matters and the gear that covers it.
Leave early. Leave ready.
Most homes are lost to embers, and the safest choice is almost always leaving early. Have a plan, a packed kit and a way to get warnings when power and mobile coverage drop out.
- Written leave-early plan and two routes out
- Grab-and-go kit with water, food and first aid
- Battery or solar radio for ABC emergency broadcasts
- P2 masks, gloves and a reliable torch
Get to higher ground.
Floods move faster than people expect, and roads close without warning. Know your route out, keep documents dry and stay connected to official warnings.
- Evacuation route to higher ground, planned in advance
- Waterproof bags for documents, meds and phones
- Emergency radio plus a charged power bank
- Never drive, walk or ride through floodwater
Secure it. Shelter. Stay powered.
Destructive winds and heavy rain can knock out power and water for days. Prepare the house before the season and keep the essentials charged and ready.
- Tie down or store loose outdoor items
- Fill water containers before the storm hits
- Power banks and solar charging ready to go
- A torch for every person in the house
Light, power, food, water.
Blackouts are the most common emergency Australians face. A few simple items turn a stressful night into a minor inconvenience.
- Torch or headlamp per person, plus spare batteries
- Charged power bank for phones
- No-cook food and stored drinking water
- Battery radio for updates when the internet drops
Beat the heat.
Heatwaves cause more deaths in Australia than any other natural hazard. Water, cooling and checking on others are what matter most.
- At least 3–4 L of water per person, per day
- A cool room plan if the power goes out
- A charged power bank for phones and a radio
- Check on elderly neighbours and pets
Out the door in minutes.
When you are told to leave, there is no time to pack. A 72-hour go-bag per person means you walk out with everything you need.
- A packed go-bag for every member of the household
- Copies of documents, medications and cash
- Chargers, torch, first aid and water
- Carriers, food and leads for your pets
Six things every Aussie home needs.
Emergency services agree on the basics. Cover these six and you can ride out most emergencies in reasonable comfort.
- Water3–4 L per person, per day, plus a way to purify more.
- FoodLong-life, no-cook food that needs no fridge.
- FireA reliable way to light a fire in wind and wet.
- Light & powerA torch per person and a way to charge phones.
- First aidA proper kit, not a handful of plasters.
- ShelterPonchos, blankets or a bivvy to stay warm and dry.

Three kits, three levels of protection. Start small and build up, or cover the whole household in one go.
Glovebox Ready
For the car, the office drawer or your very first kit.
- Compact and light enough to go anywhere
- Covers the basics for short disruptions
- A great first kit or gift
Weekend Ready
For camping, 4WD trips, road trips and the home cupboard.
- A step up in tools and supplies
- Built for longer stays off the grid
- Where most households should start
Household Ready
For evacuation and extended outages with two people.
- Complete 118-piece system for two people
- Shelter, first aid, water, light, cooking and tools
- Packed and ready to grab
Gifts they will actually use.
Skip the socks. Practical gear for the camper, the 4WDer, the tradie and the prepper in your life, from stocking stuffers to the full kit.
When the power doesn't come back.
A severe solar storm, a cyber attack or a cascading failure could take the grid down for weeks, not hours. No power means no fuel pumps, no EFTPOS, no phone towers and, in many towns, no water pressure.
- Off-grid power: power station and solar panel
- Battery or crank radio when the internet drops
- Spare electronics sealed in a Faraday bag
- Cash, water and food for 2 weeks or more
Stock up before everyone else does.
Supermarkets hold only days of stock. We saw it in 2020 with COVID panic buying, and in 2022 when floods cut the only rail line into WA and Perth shelves ran bare. A deep pantry keeps your family out of the queue.
- 30 days of long-life food per person
- Water storage plus a filter for the rest
- A month of prescription medicines
- Rotate it: buy what you eat, eat what you buy
Isolate with everything you need.
COVID showed how fast things change: lockdowns, closed borders and shortages of masks, paracetamol and rapid tests. The next one could be worse. Be ready to stay home for weeks without leaving the house.
- P2/N95 masks and gloves for everyone
- 2+ weeks of food and water without a shop
- First-aid kit, thermometer and fever medicine
- Soap, sanitiser, bleach and a sick-room plan
Prepare for the fallout.
Australia imports around 90% of its fuel and most of its medicines by sea. A major war in our region could mean fuel rationing, empty shelves, cyber attacks on power and banking, and soaring prices, without a shot fired here.
- Food, water and fuel to last months, not days
- Off-grid comms: UHF CB and a battery radio
- Cash, documents and a Faraday bag for electronics
- A plan to bug in, and somewhere to bug out to
The Long-Term Preparedness Checklist
Plan for grid failure, empty shelves, pandemics and conflict with a checklist you can print and work through at your own pace.
- Pantry and water calculator for 2 weeks to 3 months
- Supply lists, tier by tier
- Grid-down, pandemic, comms and bug-out plans

Basics for the long drives
Well we are a family just starting out so we are figuring it out as we go along. More and more the world seems to become a little more unstable so it got us thinking as a mum and dad what we do in certain situations. We travel frequently so that was a good a place as any to start. We found PrepPro with all these amazing guides and tips and tricks and have just started slowly putting together our own kits - stuff...

How long does delivery take?
In-stock orders are packed within 2 business days. From there, Express delivery typically takes 2–4 business days to metro areas and Standard delivery 5–7 business days, with regional and remote areas taking a little longer. Every order includes tracking. Supplier Direct items take 8–12 business days, and pre-orders ship once stock arrives, anywhere from about 1 week to 8+ weeks depending on where the stock is in production and shipping.
What is a Supplier Direct product?
Supplier Direct items are sent straight from our trusted supplier warehouses in Australia or overseas, rather than from our own shelves. They are clearly labelled on the product page, usually arrive within 8–12 business days and may arrive separately from the rest of your order.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. Choose Shop Pay at checkout to split your order into 4 interest-free payments. Eligibility and a minimum order value apply.
What if something arrives faulty or damaged?
Faulty, damaged or not-as-described items are covered under the Australian Consumer Law. Send us your order number and photos and we will sort it out quickly. See our Refund Policy.
Do I need ID to buy knives?
Yes. Blade products are 18+ and every blade order goes through a quick photo ID check before it ships. See how ID verification works.
Do you offer charity or bulk pricing?
Yes. Eligible charities, NGOs and community groups can access special pricing, and we offer custom branding on qualifying bulk orders. Learn more.
