Would you mind showing your list of what you think it is a good idea to have? I'd be curious.

nothing special in our case. It varies from week to week -it's not a set emergency supply, just doubles as one. I hate shopping, shopping is easier when you only have to buy a few things, so I buy non-perishable items when they're on sale and I buy approximately a month's worth. So each shop I only have to buy a few things -just lots of them. We keep the excess in the basement until we need it.

Clearly some things are better in an emergency that other -for example we always have pasta in but that needs water and heat to cook, not necessarily abundant in times of emergency....

but beyond that we typically have 10-12 types of cereal, maybe 40 boxes total -great emergency food. canned tuna, canned soup, canned fruit, canned tomatos, canned beans, cookies, various beverages including water and gatorade, flour, sugar, rice, tea, coffee, spare tea kettle.... if we could get to our stuff, we'd be OK for a while.
