will need a three-day supply of non-perishable food. Non-perishable means food that can stay good for a long time without needing to be in the refrigerator. It is also good if the food doesn’t need to be cooked. Here are some suggestions:

• Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits and vegetables
• Canned juice, milk and soup
• Sugar, salt and pepper
• High energy foods, like peanut butter, jelly, crackers, granola bars, trail mix
• Vitamins
• Fun foods! Like cookies, hard candy, lollipops, instant coffee and tea
• Special food for babies or older people

The food should be kept dry and cool. Cookies and crackers and other items should be put in plastic bags.
