Emergency Preparedness

by

This is something none of us likes to think about. But how prepared are you for an emergency? The canned food alliance has prepared a list of what you should have stocked in your pantry — just in case. While I’m not running out to the supermarket, this IS useful. I’m imagining it’s good prep-work for impending snow storms, too!

Here is the chart: http://www.steel.org/containers/EmergencyPantryChart.pdf

When asked what form they would prefer for their emergency food supply in the event of a natural disaster, 55 percent of consumers favor canned food, over dry goods, fresh and frozen options.

The survey, conducted by the global research firm Harris Interactive, indicates that consumers recognize the important role that canned foods play in being prepared for an event such as a hurricane or tornado. It was conducted in advance of September, which the government has dubbed National Preparedness Month.
