Emergency pantry list

A practical emergency pantry contains shelf-stable foods that can be eaten with little or no cooking, plus a dependable supply of safe drinking water. Choose foods your household can use, including any needed infant foods and foods for special dietary requirements.

Rotate supplies according to package instructions and store them in a cool, dry location protected from pests and floodwater. Include a manual can opener, clean utensils, and a way to obtain updated emergency information.
