Stocking Your Pantry
The suggested pantry list is grouped into the types of food and other essential items that may be required during an extended stay at home. These include:
- Drinks
- Dried & longlife food
- Emergency backup power supply
- Ready to eat canned/bottled food
- Pet food
- Snack food
- Baby supplies
- Health supplies
- Other items (such as prescription medications)
You can start to build your supplies over time, adding more each time you shop. Regularly check the expiry date/s of your emergency supplies and consume or replace items as required.
You should give special consideration to any family members with special needs, such as babies, young children, pregnant women, the elderly, ill or infirmed.
Naturally all households differ, and you should customise the list to suit the needs of your household.
