Scenario guides
Short plans for a Florida household, plus a one-page card you can print. Big print is the default on every card.
Written for a household in St. Johns County and northeast Florida. This is a planning aid. Orders, zones, and shelter instructions come from the county and the state.
First 72 hours →
The 3-day start card. Print it and put it on the fridge.
90-day build →
Steps at 3, 14, 30, and 90 days, tied to the gear priorities.
Hurricane and tropical storm →
Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30.
Extended power outage →
Outages follow storms and can also happen on their own, so plan for food, medicine, and safe backup power.
Boil-water and water loss →
A storm, outage, or main break can make tap water unsafe or stop it, and stored water is the simple backup.
Extreme heat →
Ready.gov describes extreme heat as high heat and humidity, with temperatures above 90°F for at least two to three days.
Wildfire and smoke →
Wildfire is less common here than hurricanes, smoke can still arrive, and this page sticks to Ready.gov’s steps.
Evacuation →
A go-bag, a meeting place, and a route are the whole plan, and the zone itself is on the county site.
Medical and medication continuity →
This is a packing and paperwork list, not medical advice, and your clinician and pharmacist decide doses and storage.
Pets →
Ready.gov says to plan food, water, medicine, and a carrier for each pet, does not publish cups or gallons per pet, and the calculator’s pet-water numbers are labeled assumptions.
Infants and older adults →
Ready.gov counts every person, including infants and older adults, in the one-gallon water figure, says their kits need different items, and this site does not add a second, unofficial water amount.
