When a disaster occurs, food might be temporarily unavailable. The same goes for water, electricity and gas. You should have a reserve supply of food and water for yourself and your family that will last at least 3 days. The best foods are those which don’t need to be refrigerated or cooked, and which have a law salt content. For example: canned fruits and vegetables, jam, biscuits, cereals, pasta, rice, dried fruit and nuts, canned meats (pies, ham, patés, etc) ,fruit juices, dehydrated milk, etc
Do not forget the specific needs of particular family members: Specific food for: Babies and small children, Those with allergies, Those with dietary restrictions (salt, sugar, etc) Household pets.
Store 3 litres of water per person per day. This will be enough to keep everyone from getting dehydrated. You will need 10 litres of water per person per day if you want to cook and keep a minimal level of personal hygiene.
