The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it (what [VERIFY] means).
Check my home's winter readiness. Heating system, insulation, pipes, windows, roof and gutters, and emergency supplies: [WINTER_DETAILS]. Climate and typical risks: [CLIMATE]. Who can help in an emergency: [HELP_NETWORK]. Check servicing dates, exposed pipes, draughts, carbon monoxide alarms, stocked supplies, and a plan if heating fails. Flag work that needs a qualified person. Return a checklist with Item, Status (red, amber, green) and Action, and an emergency plan outline. Safety and servicing requirements are [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION]. Also suggest knowing where the stopcock is, insulating exposed pipes, keeping a torch and spare batteries, and checking on neighbours who may need help. Add a reminder to test carbon monoxide alarms and to use heating appliances only as the manufacturer directs. Safety first: for electrical, gas, structural or load-bearing work say plainly when a licensed professional or permit is needed, and tag the rule [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION]. Treat costs as estimates. Add a final line that states how confident you are in the overall rating, from low to high, and the main reason for that level of confidence.
