About Resilient UK
Practical preparation for ordinary UK households, with clear sources and room for different needs.
Start with everyday life
Resilient UK helps you think through the things you rely on at home and make a few useful arrangements before services are disrupted. Your time, budget, space and circumstances shape what is practical for you.
Prepare introduces ten connected areas, from power and water to keeping in touch. The Knowledge Centre takes you through specific tasks. Printable resources give you somewhere to record the arrangements you agree with other people.
Where the guidance comes from
Guides draw on UK public authorities and recognised specialist organisations. Sources are linked beside the relevant sections and listed at the end, with the date they were accessed. Where services differ between UK nations, guidance identifies the relevant arrangements.
Resilient UK explains and organises that evidence in plain English. A link to an organisation is a source attribution, not an endorsement of Resilient UK.
What editorial review means
Written by Resilient UK and Reviewed by Resilient UK are institutional editorial credits. Review checks the writing, supporting evidence and usefulness for households. It does not imply medical, clinical, legal, engineering, professional fire-safety or other specialist review.
A reviewed date records completed editorial review. An updated date records a substantive content change; the dates can differ. Source access dates tell you when the source was checked, not when an organisation last changed its advice.
Use guidance in context
These resources support general preparation. Follow current official instructions during an emergency, including the fire procedures for your building. For decisions about health, equipment or other specialist needs, use the relevant professional or provider’s guidance.
Preparation cannot remove every risk. Choose a useful starting point, talk with the people involved and revisit arrangements when your circumstances change.
