Where to Keep Your Food Storage?
Be prepared for any emergency with a ready supply of healthy, sustainable food to keep you going. No matter where you live in the country, you have a risk of experiencing natural disasters. Whether a hurricane blows through your town or a mudslide blocks a highway, at any time, you could find yourself without access to a grocery store. For such situations, having food stored can save your life and make the emergency easier to deal with.
Food is a basic necessity of life that does not change regardless of outside circumstances. No matter what happens, you and your family will still need to eat. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina effectively cut off New Orleans for weeks. During that time, residents remained in the dark as they awaited power line repairs, and grocery store shelves stayed bare as flooded roads blocked food deliveries to the area. Those in the city needed to rely on their personal food stores until power could return and stores could reopen. Being prepared with healthy food on hand will give you the fuel you need to keep going.
While most food storage experts recommend storage for only a few days, some disasters, like Hurricane Katrina, can leave you on your own for much longer. You will need to prepare your home to shelter in place for a long time if you want to be ready for anything. While you never want to experience a severe emergency such as a hurricane, going through that experience without enough food would be even worse. Even as you hope for the best, plan for the worst-case scenario to ensure you’re always ready.
