Fifteen questions. A Readiness Score out of 100, with the arithmetic shown. Then a plan built for your household and your state's actual hazards. The score is honest. If you have a year of water stored, it says so. If you have three days, it says that too, and shows the line of maths that got there: people in the house, gallons a day, gallons stored, days covered. WHAT YOU GET • Readiness Score. Six categories from your own answers: water, food, power, medical, security, documents. Each weighted by how much it matters. • Your plan. Written for your household, your home, your hazards and how long you want to be covered. First 72 hours, first two weeks, first three months, ongoing. • Supplies. The plan becomes a supply list. Tick items off as you stock them. Get a reminder 14 days before anything expires. • Progress. Your score climbs as you stock up. Milestones mark the way. • Binder. Print or share your plan, so it is on paper when the phone is dead. • Offline library. 114 articles on water, food, power, shelter, first aid and more. Works in airplane mode. • Quizzes. 12 of them, 119 questions. Find out what you actually know. WHO IT IS FOR People who take preparedness seriously and would rather have a plan than a feeling. Works worldwide. State-level hazards and benchmarks in the United States. No account needed to start. Sign in with Apple when you want your plan kept safe. The plan, supplies, progress and binder are part of The Prepper App Pro, an auto-renewing subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. Subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and can be managed in your Apple ID settings.
