The author then discusses four "layers": (i) 0-72 hours, (ii) 4-30 days, (iii) 31-99 days, and (iv) 100-365+ days. Read the whole thing.
When planning for emergencies, layering is an ever-constant theme. I often emphasize when one begins to prepare that you start simply by preparing for small-scale emergencies, and then slowly begin adding onto those existing preps to create a longer term preparedness supply. These emergency layers help you create a reliable foundation, and the same layering approach can be used when creating a food storage pantry.There are some emergency food considerations to keep in mind:
- The amount of people in the household.
- Have a good amount of food varieties to reduce food fatigue.
- The serving size of the food.
- Vitamin content in the food.
- The expiration date or “best if used by” labels on the food.
Additionally, these essential food pantry rules can come in handy when you decide on which food to purchase.
- Special health conditions for family members.
