Current status
Reference date 14 November 2026 · Submissions from 29 March 2026 to 13 November 2026
For each participating household, the latest submission counts, from any round.
Summary
Among 1,514 participating households the average score is 61%. Zuid and Noord score lowest (53% and 56%). Checking the emergency kit needs the most attention. The item score is 20%.
Self-reported by participating households; not automatically representative of the whole municipality.
How are these figures calculated?
- Participating households
- Unique households with at least one submission. A household that updates or takes part again counts once, with its latest submission.
- Submissions
- All submitted questionnaires, including updates and repeat rounds. That is why this number is higher than the number of households.
- Score per household
- The share of the 16 items in place. ‘I have it’ and ‘Not needed’ count fully, ‘Partly’ counts half, ‘Not yet’ and unanswered count as not in place.
- Average score
- The average of the scores of all participating households.
- Well prepared
- The share of participating households scoring 80% or higher.
- Item score
- For each item, the average of all participating households: ‘I have it’ and ‘Not needed’ count as 100%, ‘Partly’ as 50%, ‘Not yet’ and unanswered as 0%. An item score of 40% does not mean that 40% of households have it fully in place.
- Participation rate
- Participating households divided by the total number of households in the municipality.
- Percentage point
- The difference between two percentages. From 40% to 50% is +10 percentage points.
Number of households: stored with your municipal details; source not recorded.
Residents fill in the questionnaire themselves. Participating households may differ from households that do not take part, so the figures are not automatically representative of the whole municipality.

An emergency kit only works if it's up to date. Check it twice a year: expiry dates, batteries, torch and power bank. Do it now, and then for example at every spring and autumn clock change.

- Additional idea
- A fixed moment to come back to: the next clock change on 28 March 2027. A call to check the emergency kit fits that moment, like testing the smoke alarm.
