Emergency items should be stored in a disaster supply kit.  \nPutting Together a Disaster Supply Kit Items to include in a disaster supply kit:  \n• Medical supplies and first aid manual*  \n• Hygiene supplies  \n• Portable radio and extra batteries**  \n• Flashlights and lanterns with extra batteries**  \n• Camping cookstove and fuel  \n• Sterno cans  \n• Matches in a waterproof container  \n• Fire Extinguisher**  \n• Blankets and extra clothing  \n• Shovel and other useful tools  \n• Money in a waterproof container  \n• Infant and small children's needs (if appropriate) *  \n• Can opener, utensils, cookware  \n** Check periodically.  \nIn a crisis, it will be most important that you maintain your strength. Eating nutritiously can help you do this. Here are some important nutrition tips.  \n• Plan menus to include as much variety as possible.  \n• Eat at least one well-balanced meal each day.  \n• Drink enough liquid to enable your body to function properly (two quarts a day) .  \n• Take in enough calories to enable you to do any necessary work.  \n• Include vitamin, mineral and protein supplements in your stockpile to assure adequate nutrition.  \nWhen deciding what foods to stock, use common sense. Consider what you could use and how you could prepare it. Storing foods that are difficult to prepare and are unlikely to be eaten could be a costly mistake.  \nOne approach to long term food storage is to store bulk staples along with a variety of canned and dried foods.  \nBulk Staples  \nWheat, corn, beans and salt can be purchased in bulk quantities fairly inexpensively and have nearly unlimited shelf life. If necessary, you could survive for years on small daily amounts of these staples. The following amounts are suggested per adult, per year:  \n\n| Item | Amount* |\n| --- | --- |\n| Wheat | 240 pounds |\n| Powdered Milk | 75 pounds |\n| Corn | 240 pounds |\n| Iodized Salt | 5 pounds |\n| Soybeans | 120 pounds |\n| Fats and Oil | 20 pounds** |\n| Vitamin C*** | 180 grams |\n| * Best to buy in nitrogen-packed cans\u003Cbr>** 1 gallon equals 7 pounds\u003Cbr>*** Rotate every two years |  |\n\nStocking Foods for Infants  \nSpecial attention would need to be paid to stocking supplies of foods for infants. Powdered formula would bethe least expensive form of infant formula to stock. Commercially canned liquid formula concentrate, and ready-to-feed formula may also be stored. Amounts needed would vary, depending on the age of the infant. Infant formula has expiration dates on the packages and should not be used past the expiration date. Parents should also plan to have a variety of infant cereals and baby foods on hand. Amounts needed will vary depending on the age of the infant.  \nOther Foods to Supplement Your Bulk Staples  \nYou can supplement bulk staples which offer a limited menu with commercially packed air-dried or freezedried foods, packaged mixes, and other supermarket goods. Canned meats are a good selection. Rice and varieties of beans are nutritious and long-lasting. Ready-to-eat cereals, pasta mixes, rice mixes, dried fruits, etc. can also be included to add variety to your menus. Packaged convenience mixes that only need water and require short cooking times are good options because they are easy to prepare. The more of these products you include, the more expensive your stockpile will be.  \nThe following is an easy approach to long-term food storage:  \n1. Buy a supply of the bulk staples listed previously.  \n2. Build up your everyday stock of canned goods until you have a two-week to one-month surplus. Rotate it periodically to maintain a supply of common foods that will not require spe","cbCaibogV8UE1nPz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibogV8UE1nPz","pdf",132138,"English","# Putting Together a Disaster Supply Kit\n# Nutrition Tips for Sustained Strength\n# Long Term Food Storage Basics\n## Bulk Staples\n## Stocking Foods for Infants\n## Supplementing Bulk Staples\n## Easy Approach to Long-Term Food Storage\n# Storing Dry Ingredients and Grains","[{\"question\":\"What should a disaster supply kit include?\",\"answer\":\"Include medical supplies and a first aid manual, hygiene supplies, a portable radio with extra batteries, flashlights and lanterns with extra batteries, a camping cookstove with fuel, and food-prep and safety items such as utensils, cookware, matches in a waterproof container, fire extinguisher, blankets and extra clothing, tools, and money in a waterproof container.\"},{\"question\":\"How can nutrition help during an emergency?\",\"answer\":\"Plan menus for variety and eat at least one well-balanced meal each day.
