Emergency Food Supplies – Planning Ahead
Be ready for bad weather. We suggest everyone always have enough food in the house to last for a few days in case of an emergency when we cannot deliver, or you may not be able to get food, water, or electricity for several days. Take steps to stock up on long lasting foods that are ready-to-eat and will not spoil.
Gather Emergency Food Supplies
• Put together a 3-day supply of food and water per family, including pets.
• Choose foods that last a long time and don’t need refrigeration.
• Choose foods that are not salty or spicy -these increase the need for drinking water.
• Have a manual can opener and disposable utensils.
Foods That Last 6 Months
• Protein Bars
• Dried Fruit
• Non-perishable Pasteurized Milk
• Powdered Milk
• Boxed Potatoes
Foods That Last a Year

• Canned Beans- such as navy, black, kidney, garbanzo
