Emergency Preparedness is so important. Especially if you live in an area prone to violent storms or natural disaster occurrences happen. I remember being without electricity for 2 weeks during a hurricane in 2002, and then about 11 days later we had another storm that knocked it out for about 8 days. It was awful. The food in the fridge spoiled faster than we could eat it, and we had used our grill to cook. ( Thank goodness for pots and pans you can use on the stove though ! ) But had we had the good sense to stock pile some emergency freeze dried food from Valley Foods ( good for 25 years!! ) we would have been a lot better off, No more rotating the cans out and making sure everything is still good. These bags keep you from worrying for 25 years. They also make lots of other flavors as well as desserts. I don't like the idea of having to worry about Natural Disasters, but I live in Florida and when its Hurricane Season you just never know. You do not want to be one of those individuals rushing at the already panicked patrons of the store. These bags make that unnecessary. The only thing you need is water and if you grab a jug every time you run to the store normally, you should be good to go. I think it is so important to be prepared.
My small list of Emergency preparedness tips:
- Batteries for Flashlights
- Gas for grill or Charcoal
- Bags of Freeze Dried Foods
- 3 gallons per person ( this is enough to last about 3-5 days )
- Fill up your car with gas
- Have some cash in case ATMs are down
- Medications
- Pet food
- Fill up all bathtubs with water.
- Cups, Plates, Forks and spoons - disposable ( you don't want to waste your water washing dishes)
- Toilet paper
- Identification and important papers
- Ready to go outfits with supplies ( in case you need to evacuate
