STEP 01 OF 07

Your household

Start with what you know. Every question is optional, and you can return to unfinished decisions.

Which disruptions do you want to plan for?

Select what you want to discuss. This does not determine your property’s risk.

A household name or nickname is enough.

0/1200

Include only what you want on your printed copy. A locality is fine for now.

0/1200

Include children, visitors and anyone who lives alone. First names are fine.

0/1200

Think about transport, mobility, communication, sensory needs, language and powered equipment. Practical needs are enough; you do not need to enter diagnoses.

0/1200

For example: one access road, a creek crossing, a water pump that needs power, or being away at work.
