These MREs are some of the best available. They are brand new in sealed boxes direct from the manufacturer. THEY DO INCLUDE THE HEATERS. Many other companies do not include the MRE heaters and will charge you extra for them. 12 MREs ( Full Case) include: 8oz. Main Dishes (at least 4 different entrees) Protein Bar Fruit Bar OR Cookie Bar Crackers & Cheese OR Jelly Accessory Pack (spoon, coffee, sugar, creamer, salt, pepper, napkin, moist towel Flameless Heater The MREs were originally designed by the U.S. Deptartment of Defense for the soldiers, so they would always have a hearty, portable meal that did not require special storage or preparation. You don't need to add water, just heat and eat. They can also be eaten cold, because they are fully cooked. These are GREAT to have on hand in case of an emergency. You will have peace of mind knowing you have food available for your family in the event of tornado, flood, earthquake or act of Terrorism. These MREs are light weight and easy to store. They will store very well for years, in a closet, under a bed, in the basement or garage. Due to the weight of these cases I will ship MRE cases seperately from other items purchased.
*This informational tip is provided by S.W.A.T. Medics In cold weather 4 MREs per day are needed. You need to take in up to 8000 calories per day. Try to include 5-6 quarts of hot liquids or soup. Avoid cold meals or beverages.
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.
