01 The gap

Most UK households do not have an emergency plan.

The UK Public Perception Survey on Risk and Preparedness (2025) found that the majority of UK households feel only slightly or moderately prepared for disruption. The National Risk Register lists severe weather, pandemic, cyber attack, and infrastructure failure among plausible scenarios. The EU Preparedness Union Strategy (2025) has set 72-hour household self-sufficiency as a continental standard. Finland and Sweden have distributed practical guidance to every household for years.

We exist because the gap between official guidance and household action is wide, and because closing it should not depend on how wealthy, anxious, or tech-confident a household is. Preparedness is a basic capability, not a luxury.

"What if every household in the United Kingdom had an emergency plan?"
Founding question, ResiliGroup CIC, 2026.

02 Portfolio

Three products. One mission. Built on the same evidence base.

ResiliGroup operates three platforms, each addressing a distinct audience with consistent methodology and shared standards.

03 Impact

Our impact, in numbers we can show our working on.

04 Evidence

We have done the reading. So you do not have to.

ResiliGroup is evidence-informed, not evidence-prescriptive. We translate peer-reviewed research, grey literature, and government frameworks into plain language. These are the sources we build on.

Peer-reviewed

Disaster literacy as a multidimensional competency.

Brown, L.M., Haun, J.N. and Peterson, L. (2014).

Preparedness is cognitive, physical, financial, social, and psychological. Kit and plan is not enough on its own.

Peer-reviewed

Skills-based disaster literacy: a framework.

Karacaoglu (2025).

Literacy becomes capability only when skills are practised, not when information is read.

Policy

EU Preparedness Union Strategy.

European Commission (2025).

72-hour household self-sufficiency is now a continental standard across the European Union.

Government

National Occupational Standards for Resilience and Emergencies.

UK Cabinet Office (2025).

The UK now has occupational standards that define what competent resilience practice looks like. We align our 9-domain framework to these.

Government

Public Perception Survey on Risk and Preparedness.

UK Cabinet Office (2025).

Most UK households rate themselves only slightly or moderately prepared. The gap is not awareness, it is action.

Grey literature

Building Everyday Preparedness.

NPC and University of Hull (2023).

Preparedness sticks when it is embedded in everyday routines, not campaigns.

Grey literature

Community, Not Catastrophe.

Young Foundation (2025).

Whole-of-society resilience is built through trusted relationships, not one-off drills.

Government

Household Data.

ONS (2024).

29.5 percent of UK households are single-person. 2.9 million are lone-parent. 5.7 million people provide unpaid care. One-size-fits-all preparedness guidance fails most of them.

05 Partnerships

We are building with the resilience ecosystem, not beside it.

ResiliGroup is independent, but we do not believe household preparedness is a solo mission. Our work is designed to complement official UK guidance, to support local resilience forums, and to extend the reach of the voluntary organisations already doing this at the community level.

CHARITY PARTNER (EXPLORATORY)

Communities Prepared.

A UK-wide programme supporting community emergency volunteers.

We are in conversation with Communities Prepared about how the ResiliGroup Neighbourhood tier could extend practical preparedness capability into the communities their volunteers already serve. The relationship is exploratory, the ambition is long-term, and the test question is simple. Does the ResiliKit platform measurably help the households a community volunteer reaches?

We name this relationship carefully. Communities Prepared is an established UK charity with its own mission. We are in early-stage discussions, not a contracted partnership. Any use of their name here reflects mutual exploration, not endorsement. If and when the relationship formalises, we will update this section with full programme detail and any co-authored outcomes.

Is your organisation working on household preparedness, community resilience, or related outcomes? We would like to hear from you.
