Emergency water and ice distribution centers ran out of supplies, even though the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) had delivered more than 300 truckloads of water, ice and meals three days before Wilma came ashore, according to the Miami Herald. Failure to maintain adequate supplies of food and water in a disaster can cause inconvenient situations, or worse, threaten your survival.

America’s top disaster preparedness agencies have consistently offered the following advice: Maintain the equivalent of 3 gallons of water for every family member in your home.

For portability and ease, make sure your disaster kit contains enough food for every family member. You can purchase extra emergency food packs and energy bars(with a 5-year shelf life), as needs dictate. If you’re at work, in your car or on the go, make sure you’ve made similar preparations.
