Top Foods You Should Have on Hand In Case of An Emergency

Most of us rarely think about having a supply of emergency food on hand until the weather becomes threatening, such as an approaching blizzard or heavy rains with possible flooding. But emergencies can and do happen when we least expect them. If you plan ahead, you can havee a variety of foods

on hand - many of them have lengthy expiration dates, so you can stash them away for long periods of time.

Remember to keep a list of everything in your stockpile and check expiration dates every 6  months to keep things fresh - a good time to do that is when you change the smoke detector battery. And don’t forget to keep things like zip lock bags to keep food fresh and have a can opener on hand at all times. Gas grills can be your best friend when your freezer is getting warm. Keep an extra canister of gas on hand too.
