Emergency food supplies are non-perishable food items that are stored for use during unexpected situations, such as natural disasters or prolonged power outages. These supplies typically include canned goods, dried fruits, grains, and freeze-dried meals, which can last for months or even years without spoiling. They are designed to provide essential nutrition when access to fresh food is limited. Having a stockpile of emergency food supplies is important for families and individuals to ensure they can sustain themselves during crises. Many people choose to create a supply that meets their dietary needs and preferences, while also considering items that require minimal preparation, such as MREs (Meals Ready-to-Eat) or energy bars.
