Supplies
Supply categories explained
What belongs in Food, Water, Health, Hygiene, and Energy.
Last updated July 4, 2026
Supplies are organized into five categories, shown as tabs at the top of the Supplies page. Each category tracks the details that matter for that kind of item.
Food
Anything your household eats: canned goods, dry staples, freeze-dried meals, snacks. Food items track calories and servings so the app can tell you how many days of eating you have stored. The running calorie total updates live as you add items.
Water
Drinking and utility water in any container: bottled cases, 5-gallon jugs, 55-gallon barrels. Whatever unit you enter, the app converts to gallons automatically, so your total is always in one consistent number. See Track your water.
Health
First aid kits, medications, prescriptions, vitamins, and medical equipment. The things that keep your household healthy when a pharmacy run isn't an option.
Hygiene
Soap, toothpaste, toilet paper, feminine products, diapers, cleaning supplies. Often the most forgotten category, and one of the first things you miss.
Energy
Batteries, flashlights, lanterns, fuel, generators, power banks. Anything that keeps your lights on and devices running when the grid doesn't.
Tip
Not sure where something goes? Pick the category that matches why you'd reach for it in an emergency. A camp stove is Energy, the fuel canisters for it are too, but the freeze-dried meals you'd cook on it are Food.
Working with the table
Each category is a sortable table. Click a column header to sort, use the search box to find an item fast, and use the Columns button to show or hide columns (like cost or location) so the view fits how you think.
