FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, advocates disaster preparedness. They advise people to be informed, make a plan, and prepare an emergency kit.
A major part of that emergency kit is food and water for you and your family. But, what types of food should you store? How much food should you store? How will you cook it? Does it need to be refrigerated? How much water needs to be stored and how? Will these foods go bad during storage? Can my family or I become sick if we store these foods incorrectly? Can I throw these foods in my car in case I am forced to evacuate my home?
