“It doesn’t take a large catastrophic disaster for anyone of us to find ourselves in a situation where we are stuck in our home, maybe for a period of days, without food or water available to us other than what we have there.”  It’s a wise warning from the American Red Cross.  This video from the CDC is short, sweet and informative:

“Stockpile things you like and normally buy, just buy a little more of them.  Stockpile foods that are non-perishable and don’t require refrigeration or cooking.”  It’s really common sense.  Store a little extra food and water in a pantry, garage or extra closet.

When an emergency strikes and the power goes out and stays out:

1. Eat the food in your refrigerator first, since this will go bad the soonest.
2. Then, eat the food in your freezer.  As long as you keep the door closed, it should last a few days (maybe longer depending on the climate).
3. Finally, eat your stockpiled food of canned goods and non-perishable items.

They are simple suggestions, but so simple to overlook.
