How to store emergency food and supplies for families when a typhoon strikes
Being prepared for danger is the wisdom of life
Just sent away typhoons “Haikui” and Kirogi”
The new typhoon “Yun-yeung” is on its way again
No matter where the typhoon lands
Will have varying degrees of impact on the local area
In minor cases, electricity and water are cut off
In severe cases, it can also cause natural disasters such as flooding
Faced with sudden disaster events
Emergency food reserves have become an essential item
What specific materials can be stored?
How to choose a storage method
First, there has to be enough of them. In general, the family should store at least 3 days to 2 weeks of water and food according to the number of people.
Secondly, there should be enough nutrition. Disasters often consume more energy than daily, so food should provide enough carbohydrates to meet the human body’s energy needs, on the other hand, we should also pay attention to the balance and diversity of nutrients, to avoid health problems caused by malnutrition.
Once again, the storage method can be “circular reserve”. That is, to maintain a continuous state of daily food reserves and consumption, and to use food together with emergency food as reserve food, starting from the imminent food, and supplementing it at any time according to the amount consumed.
With the development of technology, China has high accuracy in predicting typhoon levels and their movement paths. When encountering a major typhoon about to land, people usually prepare some water and food at home to prevent water and power outages. However, common foods in daily life often have the following drawbacks when disasters occur: they are not easy to store and carry, have a short shelf life, and are not easy to consume
With the innovation and upgrading of food companies in the food industry and food packaging, packaging technology has been used to extend the shelf life, allowing diversified “unconventional foods” to balance health and delicacy.
The following is the “Home Emergency Food Recommendation”, please keep it now!
Portable water bag
As the saying goes, a power outage is not scary, but a water outage is scary. When disasters strike, the most important thing is to ensure that the water is clean, safe, and free from bacteria and parasites. Choose a portable water bag containing Changsu Ultrany film; excellent load-bearing, 8L/10L can not be easily done, with excellent performance such as compression resistance and fall resistance, not easy to break the bag. In addition to emergency water storage at home, it can also be used for outdoor camping water storage and other scenarios, which can be folded and stored when not in use and does not take up space.
Energy foods such as bread and oatmeal bars
Energy foods such as bread and oatmeal bars not only have the function of casual snacks, but also have a certain meal replacement function. The shelf life of over 3 months makes it easier to store. It is recommended to buy pastries packed with Changsu EHA® film, Physical locking for freshness is healthier.
Self-heating rice
Self-heating rice can heat cold rice without open flames or electricity. When natural disasters such as typhoons strike, there is no need to be afraid of running out of water or electricity at home. The sauce bags inside are mostly made of nylon film composite aluminum foil, which has excellent barrier properties and can delay the oxidation and deterioration of the content.
Dried meat, dehydrated fruit
Beef jerky or beef sticks, which are high in protein and low in fat, do not require any special storage conditions under good packaging conditions. Dehydrated fruit is another great way to store fruit with a long shelf life and a delicious taste. As an emergency food, it can help the body supplement other nutrients it needs.
Chocolate
The human body will consume more calories in an emergency state, and chocolate is a high-calorie food that can quickly supplement the energy needed by the human body. And sweet food not only helps relieve tension, but also acts as an “emergency medicine” when there is low blood sugar, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
In addition, the rescue community believes that there is a “golden 72 hours” after the disaster, and after ensuring the storage of food and water, we also need some other emergency supplies.
