Country guidance

Australia household resilience

Australian guidance is state-based. Queensland emergency guidance provides a useful baseline of 10 litres of drinking water per person for three days and three days of non-perishable food.

Local guidance always takes priority.

During a real incident, follow current local government, emergency-service, utility and public-health guidance for your location. Local evacuation, boil-water, do-not-drink, shelter and safety instructions override this website.

Primary source

Open the official guidance

Always follow your state or territory emergency service, local council and utility guidance for your location and hazard.

Use the global resilience check

The main calculator lets you combine electricity, gas/fuel, mains water, food-supply and communications disruptions, then compares your stored water, shelf-stable food and backup phone energy with the selected planning horizon.

What limiting resilience does — and does not — mean

The headline day figure identifies the earliest modelled resource limit in the selected scenario. The secondary 0–100 scenario score summarises broader coverage. Neither is a forecast of how long it is safe to remain at home, and neither replaces emergency services, public-health guidance, evacuation orders or professional advice.

Use the same plan in your preferred units

The global calculator keeps its country guidance pack separate from display units. You can use the automatic country default or switch water quantities between litres, US gallons and UK imperial gallons without changing the underlying planning target.

What the Australian country pack changes

Australian emergency guidance is strongly state and territory based. The launch pack uses Queensland’s 10 litres per person for three days as its water baseline and clearly identifies that source rather than presenting it as a single national standard.

Users elsewhere in Australia should compare the output with their own state or territory emergency-service guidance. The calculator can still model the household dependencies consistently while the source pack is refined over time.

What stays the same globally

The dependency engine, limiting-resilience calculation, device-load planner, food-usability logic, copy controls and printable plan use the same method in every supported country. Localisation changes the guidance source, water baseline, emergency references and default display units rather than creating a different product.
