Emergency Preparedness

[Minxpetite 3]

Today, I was reading a list of guidelines regarding supplies that households should keep on hand to survive 3 or more days in case of earthquakes, winter utility outages, etc. One prominent requirement is to have non-perishable foods stocked, for example, but many of the emergency kits seem to be hugely slanted towards Pasta. I wonder if anyone here keep an emergency kit stocked, and, if so, what do you stock for your non-perishable bariatric food needs?

I don't keep one, but nuts or Protein Bars would work.

What are nut butter packets. I mean obviously Peanut Butter but are they natural and where do you get packets. I live in florida and these are great ideas for me to stock up for hurricanes.

Amazon has them in bulk. There's almond butter, Peanut Butter, etc. Yes, they are natural and come in one serving, 2Tbsp. packets.

Ooh wow they have tons of them. Any brand suggestions.

I like the Maranatha because they don't have added ingredients.

Tins of Beans, tomatoes, chick peas, lentils, vegetables & fish, dried barley, etc. Keep powdered stock on hand too. You’ll get Protein from the beans, chick peas, barley & lentils. I always have frozen vegetables on hand too just in case & keep rotating out & using frozen mince, chicken thighs, diced beef, etc. & freezing fresh packs. I can shop from my pantry & freezer for a couple of weeks.
