It’s good to be prepared for blizzards and natural disasters - Don’t get caught short

Filed Under Consumer, Home food prep

Blizzard conditions shut down much of the Eastern Seaboard this week

You never know when a natural disaster or even a blizzard will hit and create an immediate void in the local food supply and leave you short. If you keep a well stocked larder you can rest easy knowing that even if transportation is cut off, you can still eat well. With Washington D.C. and much of the northeast Atlantic coast shut down this week due to blizzards many people are stuck at home without adequate food.

We laughed at Y2K!

Remember when the world was going to end as the infrastructure collapsed because of two digits of computer code?

We chuckled as people rushed the stores in late December of 1999. It was no big deal to us because we always have a full larder and are prepared for temporary loss of power.

None of us bought into the doom, but we did buy a couple of extra cases of wine, just to be on the safe side.

But blizzards are no laughing matter!

Blizzards shut down all traffic in and out of Denver countless times a few winters ago, leaving people, stores, hotels, restaurants, and the airport without food for days.

Some Denver residents we know walked to a nearby convenience store to try to get some food, but most of their neighbors had beaten them to the milk, cheese, nuts, jerky, or any other source of protein you can find at a convenience store. All that was left for them to buy were chips and tic-tacs. Thankfully they had a functioning system of potable water, because all bottled water had been sold out.

Things can shut down in a hurry!

As this country’s infrastructure continues to deteriorate, it is only reasonable to expect that we will see an increase in power outages and incidents of stalled transportation. It’s a very secure feeling to know that in those instances, which by their very nature you can never predict in advance, you can thrive and maintain.

Always be able to fix a hearty, wholesome meal!

When your pantry is always well stocked, it’s so easy to whip up something to eat that is wholesome and nutritious. If you’ve taken a few hours here and there to freeze some of your leftovers or home-made dishes you can have a hot meal in very short order.
