Who we are
First 72 Hours is an app published by Marouane Gazouzi, an individual developer ("we", "us"). By downloading or using First 72 Hours you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
What First 72 Hours is
First 72 Hours builds a 72-hour emergency kit sized for your household (adults, children, babies, pets, daily medication) and your country, with a checklist, a readiness percentage and a shopping list of what is missing. It includes the official preparedness advice of 199 countries, summarised in our own words from government pages with the sources linked on every guide, emergency numbers by country, a call button, a flashlight, an SOS signal in Morse with the camera light and a compass.
Not a replacement for the authorities. The advice is summarised from official government pages and doesn't replace instructions from the authorities on the day. If you are in danger, call your local emergency number first. First-aid content is not medical training. Kit quantities and advice are guidance: you decide what to keep at home and how to act.
Countries without official guidance. Some countries have no official preparedness guidance online. For those, the app shows general advice from Ready.gov (US), which may not match local conditions. ready.gov
Free and Complete

Acceptable use
Don't try to reverse engineer the app, get around the purchase, or use it to break the law.
Availability and changes
We work to keep First 72 Hours working and its advice up to date, but official guidance changes and we may change or improve features. If we change these terms in a way that matters to you, we will update the date above and tell you in the app.
Liability
First 72 Hours is provided "as is" to the extent the law allows. It is a preparedness aid, not an emergency service: we are not responsible for decisions made using the app, for differences between our summaries and the official guidance, or for harm that results from relying on it instead of the authorities or emergency services. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the mandatory consumer laws of your country.
Apple's license agreement
Your use of the app is also governed by Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (Standard EULA): apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula.
Apple is not responsible for First 72 Hours or its content, and has no obligation to provide support for it.
