To prepare, pack at least 2,000 calories of food per adult per day. In addition, pack at least one gallon of water per person per day for drinking and sanitation in clean plastic containers.

Champagne will be in short supply in 2023, not just because of the drought, but because demand has rebounded from the pandemic faster than producers can create the bubbly beverage. Butter, corn, tomatoes and eggs are also on the list of potential shortages, as well as baby formula.

Dried beans, oats, frozen poultry, peanut butter and frozen fruits and vegetables are some examples of nutritious items that have long shelf lives. These foods can be stored in the pantry, freezer or fridge for many months, which is why purchasing them in bulk is a smart choice.

Make sure you have:
the stock of long-term storage products;
drinking and technical water;
first aid kit;
cash;
flashlights, spare batteries or accumulators for them, candles;
gas burner with extra cylinders for cooking;
fire extinguisher;
warm blankets, sleeping bags, thermal underwear (in case of the cold season);

Though not an end-all test, a quick way to read the percent daily values is to use the 5/20 rule. This says that if the %DV is less than 5% there is a low amount of this nutrient, while if the %DV is greater than 20% there is a high amount of this nutrient.

Canned Food and Pet Food

COVID-19, labor shortages, the Russo-Ukrainian War, increased demand, and the ongoing supply chain crisis are all to blame. And we will probably have no end in sight until 2023, when the world hopefully moves back towards normalcy after all these crises.

Most shelf-stable foods are safe indefinitely. In fact, canned goods will last for years, as long as the can itself is in good condition (no rust, dents, or swelling). Packaged foods (cereal, pasta, cookies) will be safe past the ‘best by’ date, although they may eventually become stale or develop an off flavor.

An open jar of peanut butter stays fresh up to three months in the pantry. After that, it’s recommended to store the peanut butter in the fridge (where it can maintain its quality for another 3-4 months). If you don’t refrigerate, oil separation can occur.
