Emergency Food

These suggestions are from FEMA.  Most of us are aware that we will need far more than a 3 day supply,  but this is a list for those who are just starting to consider storing food… Suzanne

Store at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food. Select foods that require no refrigeration, preparation or cooking and little or no water. If you must heat food, pack a can of sterno. Select food items that are compact and lightweight. Avoid foods that will make you thirsty. Choose salt-free crackers, whole grain cereals, and canned foods with high liquid content.

*Include a selection of the following foods in your Disaster Supplies Kit:

Note: Be sure to include a manual can opener.

  • Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits and vegetables
  • Canned juices, milk, soup (if powdered, store extra water)
  • Staples–sugar, salt, pepper
  • High energy foods–peanut butter, jelly, crackers, granola bars, trail mix
  • Vitamins
  • Foods for infants, elderly persons or persons with special dietary needs 
  • Comfort/stress foods–cookies, hard candy, sweetened cereals, lollipops, instant coffee, tea bags
