Most families gather emergency supplies when calamities start to happen but what happens most of the time is that groceries and other source of supplies will eventually have a shortage because most of the people will be panic buying and will tend to purchase these supplies in bulk. When that happens, it is possible that other people will not be able to buy supplies that they need because of the insufficient availability of these emergency foods and supplies.

-To prepare your emergency food, there are also tools and materials needed, so be sure to have a stash of those materials handy or in store during emergency.
