Keep a flashlight(with batteries) and a manual can-opener in my pantry.
To be prepared for any emergency, put together a kit and include at least a three day supply of non-perishable food:
Select foods that require no refrigeration, preparation or cooking and little or no water.
Pack a manual can opener and eating utensils.
Avoid salty foods, as they will make you thirsty.
Choose foods your family will eat.
The following is a suggested list of items to keep on hand in the event of an emergency.In addition it is recommended to keep a three day supply of water,based on 1 gallon per person per day.
