1. Canned fruits and vegetables (manual can opener or easily open lids)

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.
