Menlo Park, California (PRWEB) August 27, 2011
iFood.tv, a leading online food and video recipe community, presents readers with its top ten tips for stocking up on food before a hurricane. The tips detail what kind of food to buy, and how to store the food for easy access in the event of power outages or a flood.
As concerned readers turn to the Internet for information and resources regarding hurricane preparation, iFood.tv decided to create a resource on how to prepare a pantry for emergency situations. Below are ten important tips for any individual who will be affected by Hurricane Irene.
Top 10 Tips For Surviving Hurricane Irene Tastefully with Foods That Last
1) Stock up on plenty of nonperishable and ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits and vegetables. These food products do not require a refrigerator or stove, and will still remain intact in the case of flooding. Examples include canned tuna, baked beans, soups, canned corn, raisins, and dried fruit.
2) Store some basic spices and condiments in waterproof packaging.
Take a little time to store some of your favorite condiments and spices in waterproof packaging. These little comforts will spruce up your canned meals for a little taste of home.
3) Save room for specialized foods like baby food or food for the elderly.
No one should be left out when it comes to food preparation and safety. Make sure that anyone with a specialized diet has their own share of nonperishable goods.
4) Store high energy foods such as peanut butter, granola bars or nuts.
These will provide you with the energy you need to wait out the hurricane, or to move quickly in the case of an evacuation.
5) Don’t forget about your pets!
Make sure to store some of their food and medications in a waterproof container.
6) Stock up on plenty of clean water.
To calculate how much water you need for your entire family, follow this simple rule: stock up on one gallon of water per person per day. Have enough water to last for at least 3 days.
7) Purchase some water purification tablets.
These will come in handy in case you run out of water but cannot boil water.
Store your emergency food in cool, dry and easily accessible area of your home.
Make sure that your entire family knows where this area is, in case someone needs to grab some food and evacuate quickly.
9) Don’t forget about your tools!
Make sure you have a manual can opener to open all those cans. Invest in a camp stove, which burns fuel rather than electricity. Make sure you have a 5 day fuel supply, so that you can still prepare simple meals if the power goes out.
10) Create a two week supply of food.
Experts recommend having enough nonperishable food items to last you and your family for 2 weeks without power. Even if you don’t need all the excess food, it’s better to be safe than sorry!
