FSM 335: Earthquake Preparedness: Gather Non-perishable Food

Transcript [Music] From Washington State University Extension, this is Food Safety in a Minute. Without power, would you have food to survive two weeks after a major earthquake? Gather a two-week supply of non-perishable food. Think MyPlate choosing shelf stable fruits, vegetables, protein, grains and dairy. There are lots of choices easily found in your grocery store. • Ready-to-eat canned goods such as tuna or chicken. Canned beans, fruits, and vegetables. • Evaporated milk and protein shakes. Dried milk or buttermilk. • High energy foods including nuts, peanut butter, granola bars, trail mix, and dried fruit. • Comfort, packaged foods including cookies, candy, instant coffee and tea. Freeze-dried food is a good option. Easy to store with a 25-year shelf life, you can find everything from freeze-dried chili to 30-day meal kits for families. Thanks for listening, I’m Susie Craig.
