"What Will Happen To Our Food In A Crisis?" Topic

"Sweden is telling its citizens to be ready to feed themselves for a week. Other nations should follow suit.

This week, Sweden presented a civil-defense brochure to be sent to the nation's 4.8 million households. Called "If the Crisis or War Comes," the 20-page brochure provides practical instructions, ranging from the signals that will sound in case of a national emergency, how to detect disinformation, how to get on without access to heating, fuel, the internet, medications, or public transport. It also explains to Swedes how to plan for food disruptions, and issues this sobering directive: every able-bodied resident will be expected to fend for him- or herself for seven days.

Stockholm is blazing a trail that other governments should follow. To an extent that we don't sufficiently discuss, the developed world is extremely dependent on long food supply chains that are vulnerable to disruptions. So let's talk about food…."

Our hurricane flood in August reinforced for us the need to be prepared.

I always make sure we each have a personal go bag with enough food for 24 hrs, and water bottles for 48, and medicines for a week or more. We also have a small bag for the dogs. And also have additional supplies in the garage that could be put in the trunk of the car if that's how we intend to evacuate.

Plus we have supplies for about 3 to 4 weeks if we have to stay and shelter in place at home. We have gas stove instead of electric, which helps a lot.

PS. Always make sure to have a landline phone, even if you never use it. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

ing preppers …

Got the landline,and a few other key items,tools,etc..

Where I am we have been looking at the 2016 Fort McMurray fire as a major warning. Combined with the recent California fires the real lesson seems to be always keep your gas tank at half full or more. Too many folks couldn't evacuate as intended because they had meant to hit the gas station "tomorrow or the next day".

I keep 3 days food and water in the car on a just in case basis.

Outdoor equipment are the best for those cases…

Dany… when you have to left your house… what stuff do you pick up?….

If you have weapons… you leave them there…?.
