The best way to approach your emergency food supplies list is to focus on ready to eat, non-perishable foods that don’t need cooking or refrigeration; that are easily preserved, and appeal to family members. Remember to try and stock foods that are calorie and protein rich to help maintain strength and energy.

Here is Yello’s recommended list:

Bottled water (one gallon per day per person)

Ice

 

Shelf-package juice and milk boxes

Canned and powdered milk (you’ll need extra water)

Beverages (fruit juices, instant coffee, tea, powdered, canned)

Prepared foods (canned foods and soups, including beef, tuna, chicken, ham, salmon, corned beef, pasta, fruit cocktail, packaged tasty puddings)

Canned vegetables and fruits

Dried fruits and trail mixes

Snacks (crackers, cookies, hard candy, nuts, chips, granola bars)

Cereals

Raw vegetables

Sugar, salt, pepper

Bread

Peanut butter/jelly

Dry and canned pet food

Extra formula, baby food
