Stock Up On House of Jerky During National Preparedness Month

With storms raging across our nation, it seems a good time to take inventory of how prepared you are in case you lose power for an extended period of time. Coincidentally, September is National Preparedness Month! This is a great time to create an emergency food supply, or take a look at your existing one to ensure all your food is up to date.

Following a disaster, there could be power outages that last several days. At a minimum, try to store at least a three day supply of foods your family will eat in case of an evacuation, two weeks in case of a long-term outage. In terms of water, Ready.gov suggests a gallon of water, per person, per day.

Considerations for food include:

High energy, high protein foods
Comfort food
Canned, dried, non-perishable foods your family enjoys
