You can only last up to three or four weeks without proper nutrition. Eat what you store to promote rotation and eliminate waste. Store what you eat so your body is used to the food and you know your household members will eat it. Plan your food storage around a balanced diet. Start with a three day supply in your disaster supply kit and work towards a goal of a MINIMUM one month supply for each member of the household. You will want to continue working toward a three month supply or more depending on your budget, abilities, and storage space. Store it in cool, dark, and dry conditions to maintain shelf life. Having a food storage supply is essential for maintaining your energy and health in an emergency situation. If you feel you have enough for your family to last for many months or longer, you may want to get some extra to share with your family, friends, and neighbors who may not be as prepared. Food has always been a good barter item in times of scarcity. Utah State University Extension's comprehensive Guide to Food Storage for Emergencies has many details to help you further understand how you can develop a safe and effective food storage plan for you and your family.
