FamilyBoardPreparedness starts with knowing what is already in the house
Generic emergency-kit lists can lead to duplicate purchases while important household-specific needs remain missing. An inventory makes the current state visible.
Organize by purpose and location
Examples include lighting, communication, food/water supplies, first aid, pet needs, batteries/power and household-specific necessities. Follow current official preparedness recommendations for actual quantities and contents.
Record expiration or condition only where relevant
Some supplies require periodic review; others do not. Use manufacturer labels and official guidance rather than inventing dates.
Keep the inventory separate from medical advice
A household may store medications or medical supplies, but the app should not prescribe quantities or replacement schedules beyond verified instructions.
Review after use
If supplies are consumed during an outage or trip, create a restock task rather than waiting for the next annual review.
Contextual CTA: Inventory first, buy second. Knowing what you already have is the easiest way to make preparedness spending more deliberate.
