Foods to Stockpile Prior to a Tornado
Nonperishable foods and goods that may be quickly ready with little or no cooking are absolutely vital while getting ready for a tornado in case of power disruptions. Foods you should keep on hand are listed here; then, here are ten simple dishes calling for little to no cooking.
Foods to Purchase Prior to a Tornado
Nonperishable Ingredients:
- Canned fruits and vegetables (manual can opener or easily open lids)
- Canned beans ( kidney beans, chickpeas, black beans)
- Canned meats ( tuna, chicken, salmon, SPAM)
- Peanut butter or another nut butters
- Crackers (greater nutrients from whole grains or multigrain)
- Bread (make ahead of time either homemade or store-bought).
- Cereal (whole grain, granola)
- Protein bars or granola bars
- Seeds and nuts (almonds, peanuts, sunflower seeds)
- Dried fruits (raisins, apricots, cranberries)
- Shelf-stable milk (almond or soy milk, powdered or evaporated milk)
- pasta (including canned sauces)
- Rice (fast cooking instant rice)
- Ready-to-eat dinners (canned soups, stews, chilli)

Extra Advice:
Make sure you have enough drinking water for three days—one gallon per person per day. If your cans have difficult-open lids, don’t overlook the need of a manual can opener. Keep foods that need no refrigeration: Only eat refrigerated goods initially once electricity is lost. To avoid meal tiredness, plan for variety include foods with a diversity of textures and flavors. These simple dishes guarantee that you have enough choices to keep everyone in your family nourished during a tornado and guarantee their simplicity in assembly.
