Household guide rationale
The household resilience guide consists of 32 pages of information and guidance taken from multiple sources. Some of the information has to be brief for a printable guide which can be applied to your own circumstances depending on your need. There is more space available on a website to provide background and explanation, which (incomplete at the moment) will be updated and expanded as time permits and, maybe also, in response to queries and feedback. The items below refer to each page of the guide and where relevant will link to per-page background and explanatory material.
This section is currently a work in progress - as the extra information is created, the pages listed below will become links to the further information.
