These food bars have a great shortbread cookie flavor. They have a 5 year shelf-life and are approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. Each package contains 9 individually wrapped bars containing 400 calories each -- this prevents the loss of food by not having to break pieces off from one large bar. It's a good idea to keep a supply of these bars at home, and at the office. These bars are also great for camping and hiking.
Shelter In Place
Sometimes disasters make it unsafe for people to leave their locations. Winter storms, floods, and landslides may temporarily isolate individual family members and make it necessary for each household to take care of its own needs until the disaster abates. Your household should be prepared to be self-sufficient for three days when utilities and access to outside supplies of food and water are disrupted.
1. Stay in your shelter until local authorities say it’s okay to leave. The length of your stay can range from a few hours to two weeks. 2. Unless you are alone maintain a 24-hour communications and safety watch. Take turns listening for radio broadcasts and monitor your tone-alert NOAA Weather Radio. Watch for fires. 3. Assemble an emergency toilet, if necessary. Use a , pail or bucket with a snug-fitting cover. Line container with plastic bag or toilet liner. Or purchase a complete bucket style toilet here, complete with chemicals.
