WHY YOU NEED A PREPMATES EMERGENCY KIT

1 IN 4 HOMES ARE AFFECTED BY NATURAL DISASTERS

And 7 in 10 people are displaced by a natural disaster each year. Those are some serious odds!

NATURAL DISASTERS ARE INCREASING

You could have as little as 10 minutes to evacuate, be out of power for 24-72 hours, or be cut off from supply chains for days.

MOST FAMILIES AREN’T READY

71% of Australians do NOT have an emergency plan in place. But those who do recover faster, safer and with far less stress.

EASY TO USE

Every PrepMates emergency kit has been made with the end-user in mind. Uncomplicated tools, simple instructions, and all conveniently delivered to your door.

RELIABLE

Every item is tested for durability, reliability and (where possible) waterproofing, so your kit holds up through bushfires, storms, blackouts, cyclones and floods.

AFFORDABLE

Our kits are over 30% cheaper than building your own saving you time, money and hours of research while giving you complete peace of mind.

EMERGENCY KIT FAQ'S:

Who is this kit for?

Our range of comprehensive emergency kits covers all natural disasters and caters for all budgets, household sizes and experience levels.

The Starter Kit is perfect for those starting out, giving you all of the essentials needed for 2 people. It's budget-friendly and allows you to continue to build upon yourself.

The Buddy Kit suits 2 people also, however, comes with extra tools and supplies to keep you safe and connected when you need it most, all conveniently packed in a comfortable, waterproof backpack.

This Crew Kit caters for up to 4 people, decking you out with all of the tools you might need.

Have more people in your family? Too easy! Just add on our Emergency Preparedness Restock Kit for every extra 2 people to keep everyone safe.
How long does this kit last?

This emergency survival kit includes single-use emergency supplies to support your household for 72 hours, plus durable survival gear and tools designed to last for years to come.
Is this suitable for bushfires, storms, or floods?

Absolutely. It’s packed to help you handle common Australian emergencies including smoke, loss of power, shelter-in-place situations, or urgent evacuations. We recommend packing everything into a sturdy bag, like our Waterproof Backpack, in case of an urgent evacuation
Do I need to pack anything else in the kit?

You can tailor your kit however you like to suit your needs. There’s space for baby formula, extra meds, pet supplies, cash, documents and more.

Both the 'Buddy' 2-person Emergency Kit and 'Crew' 4-person Emergency Kit have plenty of space in their waterproof backpack for personal supplies.

Not sure what to pack? We've included a handy Emergency Checklist & Plan in every kit to give you some pointers. If you have kids, pets, or any special needs, make sure you have everything you need on hand to evacuate quickly if needed!
When's the best time to get an emergency kit?

Yesterday! Organising your supplies in the face of an emergency is not only stressful, but can often be impossible due to panic-buying, supply shortages, or simply not knowing what products you need or where to find them.

The old saying goes: 'failure to be prepared is being prepared to fail'. Well, failure is not an option in an emergency. There are no do-overs and your life may truly depend on your ability to prepare.
What do I do if I run out of supplies?

We've got ya back! All of your single-use supplies can be quickly restocked with our Emergency Preparedness Restock Kit, suited for up to 2 people.

Grab as many as you need, again and again!
