Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Some good ideas are coming forward as items we might want to store in case of a weather/flu disaster. Maybe these can be added to a file for everyone to check occasionally . Food Water High energy foods such as peanut butter,other nut butters, nuts, trail mix, granola bars All types of canned beans including refried beans,vegetables and fruit (any that can be eaten directly from the can) Crackers and cookies Instant mashed potatoes TVP Dried fruit including rasins Soy protein powder Vegetable Bouillon Cubes Herbal teas (non caffeine.( Caffeine robs water from your body) Sugar, salt, herbs and spices. Equipment manual can opener(a must if there is no electricty) Sharp knife paper plates,cups and disposable utensils(in case there is a shortage of water for washing dishes) Toilet paper Plastic bags for human waste and garbage First Aid Kit Vitamins,over the counter medicine,prescribed meds Anti bacterial hand cleaner(can be used when water is scarce) Baby wipes Personal hygiene items Please feel free to add to this list as you think of them There will be personal family needs that you will want to add to your own list. Some experts say that you should have enough emergency food, etc. for 3 days in case of a natural disaster such as a hurricane, etc. In the case of the Avian/Bird flu it is being suggested that you have enough supplies to last for 3-6 months.
