Here is what we are working on this week:
INVENTORY: Breakfast items such as pancake mix & syrup, breakfast cereal, oatmeal, etc. Count
what you have. Decide what you need for a 3-month supply.
3-MONTH FOOD STORAGE per
person:
Jelly/Jam – 1×32 oz.
Honey – 2 lb. (If for a family, could buy larger
container.)Note: Lemon juice was incorrectly listed twice on the monthly list.
2-WEEK’S WATER: Accumulate 14
gallons of water per person (or 4×24 ct. cases per person). Can’t live without it. Store containers off cement with 2×4’s or on shelves.
EMERGENCY FUND: Add $2.00
or more per person each week. Start small, but stay consistent.
HOME STORAGE: Cotton swabs.
72-HOUR KIT: 12-function army knife. Check Walmart.
AUTO KIT: Work gloves. Check Dollar Tree.
EQUIPMENT: Large cooler/Igoo. Necessary to store food in power outages. Get a good one on sale now.
PREP GOAL: Update emergency contact phone numbers. People change phones often, so keep this current. Hang a printout in your home.
How to Use This List:
1. Decide on a monthly
home storage budget.
2. Decide what you want to gather or do from the

goals.

notepad.
