Dining Table Simulator
Enter your household. Then advance the clock through Andy’s Mini-Armageddon, one stage at a time, and see how your kit performs against the 72-hour standard.

Hour 0. The power goes out. Your household moves under the dining table. Press Advance the clock.
How the simulator works
The starting water is the official figure of 3 litres per person per day, multiplied by three days and by the number of people in your household. Dogs are not counted in the official figure. Dogs drink anyway. Everything else is a reasonable estimate of what happens to a household of your size when you put it under a table with a bedsheet for three days.
When the clock reaches hour 73 the simulation ends, because the guidance does.
