Survival foods to eat during a natural disaster

October 29, 2012

I know all our thoughts and prayers are with our neighbors in the northeast part of the country right now.  Hurricane Sandy is bearing down on the coast and stands to wreak havoc on costal communities and possibly further inland. 

There is a good chance a large number of people will be without power, water and possibly even shelter for some time.

To prepare for such an event, residents need to be aware of what types of supplies they will need, especially food and water.

According to squidoo.com, it important to stock up on foods that will keep and the most important item, water. 

Here are some recomendations for food that will help during a natural disaster or other emergency:

1. Freeze dried foods

2. Dehydrated foods

3. Bulk grains

4. Canned goods

5. Water

What are some foods and beverages you have stored away in case of a natural disaster?

Have you ever had to live for a long period of time without electricity or water?

Do you think you are prepared for a national emergency or a natural disaster? I know I'm not.  

Do you have any advice for ways to store food for such an event?

    Rep. Regina Quick pulls no punches on Chamber scorecard

    Rep. Regina Quick, R-Athens, was one of two local delegates to score less than an "A+" in the Chamber of Commerce's annual legislative score card. She and I played phone tag Monday when I was reporting the story and I wasn't able to get her comments in a timely fashion. Instead, she sent over this statement Wednesday morning and she did not mince her words. (Links and italicized portions are my own; otherwise, it's as she wrote it.) Dear Friends: read more

    UPDATED: Draft language of so-called curfew ordinance

    The committee opted Tuesday night to put off deciding on the ordinance until, at the earliest, its next meeting. Of note: The Athens-Clarke County attorney highlighted that the proposed times are, in essence, placeholders for the commission to change or keep as it pleases.   Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. read more
