72 hours. How many would yours last?
Governments now ask every household to manage 3 days on its own. Readybell shows how long yours would last, fills the gaps 5 minutes at a time, and walks you through it when the power, the water or the weather turns.
Your home, one look
Every scenario that matters where you live, how long you'd last, and the one next step. It updates as you go.
Twelve ways a home gets cut off
Power, water, heat, cold, phones and card payments, the weather, or having to leave. Each one has its own plan, written for the UK, the US and Spain. 32 guides so far.

Everyone, on one board
A parent living alone, kids at school, a partner at work. Check-ins and “I'm safe” show who's fine, never where they are.

Daily check-in
One tap a day. A missed check-in tells the people you choose, by push, then SMS, then a call.
“I’m safe” without data
One tap writes a text on your phone, so it goes out with signal and no internet.
Plan on the lock screen
Contacts and the meeting point on a wallpaper and a fridge card, readable at a glance.
Your cupboard, counted
Scan what you have and Readybell keeps the count: how many days it covers, what to use before it goes off, what to buy next. Nothing gets thrown away at the back of the shelf.
The barcode fills in the name and size. You add how many and the best-before date once; Readybell reminds you before it goes off and counts it towards your 72 hours.

Practise before it counts
Two-minute drills so the family knows what to do in the dark, and a blackout score that shows how long your home keeps its essentials on.
The power goes out at 8pm. Your phone is at 20%. What first?
Every scenario has three drills, with a family mode and a kids' mode.
How long your essentials stay on without the grid
Fridge, router, phones, lights and a CPAP machine.
A portable power station runs the fridge and lights for longer.
When a warning comes, see the next 24 hours
Readybell plays the official forecast over a 3D map of where you live: when the storm, the rain and the river reach your door, and the three things to do before they do.
- Land
- Low ground · floods first
- River, lake, sea
- Storm

Pin the official rain radar over your map. It refreshes every five minutes and tells you how far away the storm is and how fast it's moving.
Only the layers you need
Power cuts, family, shelters and water points, flood zones and the storm. One tap each, on the same map.
Layers
4 of 5 onWhen it's real, one step at a time.
The power is out, the house is too hot, the water is rising. Crisis mode goes black, shows one instruction at a time with timers where time matters, and works in airplane mode. The emergency number is always the first button.
These are the real guides from the app, written from official UKUSSpanish sources. Try them.
Call 999 if anyone is in danger.
If your landline is down, try a mobile. Emergency calls can connect through any network with signal. 112 also works.
Call 911 if anyone is in danger.
Report downed power lines to 911 too.
Si una vida está en peligro, llama al 112.
Si no es una emergencia, no llames: las líneas pueden colapsarse. Si alguien en casa depende de un aparato médico eléctrico, avisa al 112 ya. Haz llamadas cortas.
