About K72+
Mission
Every K72+ guide solves a concrete need: what to do in an earthquake, how to store water, how to pack a grab bag, what to do if someone isn't breathing. We explain step by step, with illustrations, a clear decision, the most common mistakes and a printable sheet.
The 12 modules cover emergencies, grab bag, family plan, first aid, water, energy, communications, toxic plants, shelter, fire, knots and cutting tools.
K72+ started in 2026 and is just getting started. It's a public-service project: every guide is checked against official sources before it's published, and the site will grow guide by guide. If you find a mistake or miss a topic, write to us — that's how it improves.
How we make the guides
Official sources
ANEPC, INEM, DGS, IPMA, ANACOM, ICNF and Portuguese law; and, where there's no national source, bodies such as the CDC or the European Resuscitation Council. All sources are listed at the end of each guide.
Exact figures
No «a few litres» or «a while». When we give a figure, we say where it comes from.
Regular review
Every guide has a review date and is revised when official guidance changes.
Independent
K72+ is free. Some guides recommend equipment with Amazon affiliate links — this is always stated, and each product is linked to a step in the guide.
