Being Food Prepared When Disaster Strikes

 

The smallest can opener can be most useful

This list is basically for food concerns and for everyone. You may send this to a number of people you think that needs to be prepared for.

• Have at least one gallon of water per day for at least 3 days. To be used for drinking and sanitation
• Three days worth of non-perishable food:
• Dried goods such as: nuts, dried fruits, beef jerky, etc.
• Canned goods such as: fruits, vegetables, beans, soups, etc.
• Frozen food will spoil; use this first.
• Include a can opener!
• Consider growing a "survival" garden at your home, which might withstand a natural disaster such as an earthquake.

For other areas of preparedness, you might consider looking at the Cabela's web site.  Cabela's, a nationwide outdoor adventure outfitter, has emergency kits which includes food, first aid supplies and sanitation products available for reasonable prices.

Eat and be merry!
