Emergency Food Rations: Don’t be left hungry!

Emergency Food RationsIt pays to have emergency food rations in your home in the event of things like: bad weather conditions where you can’t get out for a few days, economic crises, or even losing your job or a lot of other things that life tends to throw at you.

Bad Weather Conditions

Think of really bad snow where it can be several feet high and you can’t get out of your home for a few days to get to the shops and even if you could then the shops could be closed as well or completely out of supplies. We never seem to be prepared for severe weather and as you know it can bring the country to a standstill. Also there is the risk of flooding and we really should be prepared for just about everything, so that is one reason why it pays to have emergency food at hand.

Economic Crisis

Over the past few years and the collapse of Greece and the problems with the other EU countries then you can see that no one is safe from currency collapses. You may think that you have security but this is no longer the case. The financial world is so complex that no one really knows what is happening so it really pays to keep emergency food at home. Just knowing that you have something there to help out in bad times makes you feels safer.

Job Loss

We all want to think that we are going to keep our jobs but this is not always the case. Anyone and everyone is at risk these days from CEOs to any employee at any level and we can be laid off at any time or even replaced. These things happen and it’s best if you can put some emergency food away to tide you over until you can find another job because of the current employment market.

Storage of Emergency Food

Food and water are the most important things to keep in any emergency survival pack. You should always aim to have at least a 2 day supply of food in anticipation of bad weather so as to avoid any panic buying from trying to buy from depleted stocks in shops. You should store enough really for around a week in case of any emergency.
