Goals

Get started with Goals

Answer a few questions and get one clear next step toward a more prepared household.

Last updated July 4, 2026

Goals is the "where do I even start?" answer. Instead of a giant checklist, it looks at your household and your current supplies and hands you one clear next move at a time.

Set your goal

  1. Open Goals

    Choose Goals in the sidebar on the web, or tap the Goals star on your dashboard in the mobile app.

  2. Answer five quick questions

    Tell us about your situation, what you're preparing for, and roughly what you can spend per month. There are no wrong answers, and you can redo them anytime.

  3. Get your plan

    You'll see where you stand today and the single best next thing to buy or do, sized for your household.

Climb the ladder

Goals works in stages: 3 days, then 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months of readiness. Most households start by locking in 3 days, because a solid 3-day foundation covers the most common emergencies. Each stage you complete unlocks the next.

Tip

Don't try to jump straight to months of supplies. Three days done is worth more than three months planned.

Your recommendations stay fresh

Every recommendation is checked against your current supplies, so if you add items between visits (or log a recommended purchase), your next move updates to reflect what you actually have. You'll never be told to buy water you already own.
