Guide To Food Storage Emergencies
Great layout and presentation, very nicely printed with table of contents and index
One of the first books I ever distributed up here was the Mormon’s prepper book. It is really useful for designing a food storage program for a family or a community group. A vision of terrible famine is part of the LDS religion and they require the members of their church to take it very seriously. Another reason Mormons are the only Caucasian demographic expanding significantly in the United States instead of shrinking. They spend time thinking about the future.
Somebody at Utah State university decided it was time that the material was consolidated, edited and released as a more professionally presented manual to the public. Building on the original Mormon distribution as well as incorporating new information and subjects, this book : “A GUIDE TO FOOD STORAGE EMERGENCIES” emerged as a very high caliber booklet given away freely to anyone who requests a copy. It is a very popular publication for preppers and not just in Utah.
“FOREWORD :
WHY EMERGENCY FOOD STORAGE?
dis·as·ter /di’zaster/ Noun: A sudden event, such as an accident or a natural catastrophe, that causes great damage or loss of life.
Disaster has many faces: earthquake, fire, hurricane, tornado, severe thunderstorm, winter storm, financial uncertainty, and more. Disasters can result in a disruption of the normal services we come to expect and sometimes take for granted. Examples are electricity, food, and water. Take for example Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana in 2005. The actual hurricane lasted only a few hours. It then took weeks to get electricity and water service back on for many residents. The same occurred for grocery stores. Then, it took several more weeks to re-establish food deliveries to stock the grocery stores. All-in-all, it may have taken several months to return the area to its basic services of food, water, and power. Residents were left to rely on outsider assistance.
What if assistance was not available?
FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, advocates disaster preparedness. They advise people to be informed, make a plan, and prepare an emergency kit. A major part of that emergency kit is food and water for you and your family. But, what types of food should you store? How much food should you store? How will you cook it? Does it need to be refrigerated? How much water needs to be stored and how? Will these foods go bad during storage? Can my family or I become sick if we store these foods incorrectly? Can I throw these foods in my car in case I am forced to evacuate my home? These are all questions that you need to consider in both your planning and preparation stages.”
