Portuguese app K72 guides users on 72-hour disaster kits
The K72 app, developed in coordination with Montijo's civil protection authority, walks users through creating a survival kit designed to sustain them for 72 hours after a disaster. While it originated in one municipality, the tool is built for anyone in Portugal who wants a clearer path to emergency readiness.
Disaster preparedness often feels overwhelming until it's broken into manageable steps. An app-based guide could lower that barrier, especially for people who have never assembled a kit before. Does your community see digital tools as the missing link in getting more households prepared, or does the motivation still need to come from somewhere else?
A new app called K72, created in Montijo by Carlos Batista in coordination with the municipality's civil protection, is now available to help Portuguese residents prepare emergency kits for the first 72 hours after a disaster. The app is designed for all Portuguese people, not just those in Montijo, and focuses on assembling essential supplies. Having a clear, app-based guide can make disaster preparedness more accessible, especially for those who might not know where to start.
What would you include in a 72-hour emergency kit that most people forget?
