Preparing for Hurricane Season: The Emergency Food Cache

June 4, 2009 - PRLog -- Preparing for hurricane season may seem a daunting task.  Items that could become dangerous in high winds or water need to be secured.  Installing storm windows and designating and preparing a safe spot to ride out the storm may take priority.  Evacuation plans are essential, as well as plans for how separated family members will reunite.   The list of things to do might seem to go on and on.  While thinking about everything else, don’t forget to think about what you will eat in the aftermath of the storm.  

Having adequate food supplies, safely stored, will help you wait out high water and endure until emergency teams can reach your location.  With everything else you have to think about, you’ll be glad there is a great little book available to help you plan and pack your emergency food cache.  Food Security & Sustainability for the Times Ahead will do just that and more.  You will learn which foods can be stored safely, how to package them to prevent spoilage and infestation, and how to place and secure your cache so it won’t become a hazard.  Choosing and storing high energy and nutritionally sound snack foods, arranging for safe drinking water, and caring for your immune system are also covered.  

Additional useful information is found in the chapters on “Essential Herbs,” “Additional Items for Emergency Caches,” and “Other Useful Skills.”  For those who have grown weary of hurricane alley, the chapter on “Location, Location, Location” should not be missed.  You will find detailed information on researching the hazards and potential natural disasters for any area that may seem more appealing.  (There’s no sense in jumping from the frying pan into the fire!)

Food Security & Sustainability for the Times Ahead will help you prepare for the worst and best of times.  It not only covers disaster preparations, it also shows how  to eat healthier and greener without breaking the family budget.   If you are interested in sustainability and concerned about climate change, world hunger, and the economy—this book will show you how to be part of the solution by making careful choices in the foods and products that you use each day.
