Nearly everyone knows that they should prepare for the next big catastrophe that’s coming sooner or later to their area. The problem with that is it’s hard to know exactly what might happen, windstorm, earthquake, tsunami, chemical spill, or floods and each one will have its own particular dangers. There are, however, several common denominators that nearly every type of disaster will require, and that’s food and water. Those two staples you need every single day and you normally have on hand in your home daily as well, you just need to stash some for survival. Depending on what happens in your imaginary upcoming emergency, a lot of the food you have in your home will survive. Even the things you have stored in the refrigerator will last a couple of days if you get them into the freezer portion and start eating them right away. Your canned goods will be fine, dried foods last a long time if kept in airtight containers, plus you can actually go for several days without food and be just fine.
