FOOD
Keep enough food on hand to sustain you and your family for 3 days. Remember that you may not have access to electricity or refrigeration and that water may be scarce. Watch your salt content, as salty foods make you drink more water.
Recommendations:
- Foods should require very little preparation - try to avoid things that need water or cooking
- Make sure it's food your family will eat
- Remember to include a manual can-opener and utensils in your emergency supplies
- Ready-to-eat canned foods: meats, fruits, vegetables, soup, and juice
- High-energy foods: peanut butter, jelly, crackers, granola bars and trail mix
- Small amounts of comfort foods: candy, sweetened cereals, potato chips, and cookies
- Dried foods
- Instant ready-to-eat meals
