Food
When a disaster occurs, you might not have access to food, water and electricity for days, or even weeks. Store enough emergency food to provide for your family for at least 3 days.

Food Tips:

• Avoid foods that require a lot of water, refrigeration or cooking.
  
  
• Choose foods your family will eat.
  
  
• Don’t forget a manual can opener and utensils.

Recommended Foods Include:

• Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits and vegetables
  
  
• Canned juices, milk and soup.
  
  
• High-energy foods, such as peanut butter, jelly, crackers, granola bars and trail mix.
  
  
• Comfort foods, such as hard candy, sweetened cereals, candy bars and cookies.
  
  
• Dried foods (select carefully as some have a high salt content).
