In development — not a purchase or reservation
Interactive preparedness drills
Practise what
happens next.
Most households have a vague plan and an untested assumption. A drill turns both into something you have actually done.
Prep drill — before
You get up
and check.
A prep drill sends you into your own home with a stopwatch. Find the water shut-off. Test the torches. Confirm whether the heating works without mains power. Every task ends verified, unknown, or needs action. Self-recorded Verified means you checked it during this drill and recorded what you found — it is not independent certification.
Response drill — during
You sit down
and decide.
A response drill compresses time. The power is out, the fridge is warming, and one phone battery has to cover coordination or light. Choose, watch the constraints move, read what it cost you.

How a drill runs
Four steps, then again next winter.
01Tell it about your household
People, pets, heating, cooking and water. Start with a close match, then refine it. Stored in this browser.
02Do the tasks, or play the moment
Prep drills send you walking. Response drills put you under time pressure at the table.
03See what is actually true
Self-recorded Verified means you checked it in this drill and wrote down what you found. Unknown and needs action stay visible too.
04Leave with a short list
Prioritised actions you can print. Then run it again and see the difference.
Your household stays on your device.
No account to make, nothing to log into. Drill state lives in browser local storage. Reloading needs a connection; you can print the plan for offline reference. One action deletes local drill data.
Optional availability requests are separate from household state. Minimal first-party activity is separate too: WCGW stores your email and selected scenario, request time and consent version on Cloudflare for up to 180 days to notify you about availability. Buy clicks and free-drill starts send only the scenario and a random event ID, retained for up to 30 days. No household answers or cross-site IDs are sent. Separate hashed abuse-prevention keys expire after an hour and are cleared within a day. Your household answers stay in this browser. For questions, withdrawal or deletion of a request, contact [email protected]. Deleting local drill data does not delete an availability request.

Questions
Is this emergency advice?
No. It is a rehearsal tool. It does not predict events, certify readiness, or replace guidance from your local authorities — and where a drill touches medical, legal or insurance ground, it says so and stops.
Do I get a readiness score?
Deliberately not. A single number would be false comfort in one direction or theatre in the other. You get what you verified, what is still untested, and what to do next.
How long does the free drill take?
About 35 minutes if you do the tasks properly, and you will be walking around your home for most of it. Stop halfway and come back — it remembers where you were.
What does Self-recorded Verified mean?
It means you checked the item during the drill and recorded what you found. It is evidence from your own check, not independent certification or a readiness guarantee.
What is in development?
Lights Out, Leave Now, and Response Pack are scenario previews in this free pilot. They are not available to run yet.
Is it going to frighten my kids?
It is written for the adults in the household and avoids catastrophe theatre. Children appear as people to plan for, and drills never ask a child to do something unsafe.
