Emergency Food Supplies – Part 1

One of the best ways to survive is to prepare, that includes having emergency food supplies. Although one can live longer without food than without water, food is still going to be one of the most important things to prepare. There is much information online about emergency food supplies because of the different scares that we’ve had in the last few years, Y2K and terrorist related scares.

When preparing emergency food supplies you’re going to need to cover food as well as drink. Store plenty of water for drinking, hygiene and cooking. The average person will need a gallon a day, just for drinking. That’s a safe estimate on how much to plan for. The sick, elderly, and nursing mothers may need more; you may also need more if you’re in a hotter climate. If water is stored too long you’ll have to purify it, you can boil, chlorinate or use purification tablets.
