Storage Goal:
50 cans of soup, stew or chili per person
5 pounds of salt per person
20 pounds fat, oil or shortening per person
aluminum foil, plastic wrap, storage bags, etc.
At least 5 gallons water per person--recommended is 14 gallons / person for 2 weeks

72 hour kit:
1 pound dried fruit or trail mix per person (can use fruit leather)
1 package soda crackers per person (4 per box)
1 package graham crackers per person (4 per box)
2 liters tomato or orange juice per person (Note: these items will be rotated every 6 months-see Sept)
ALSO make a goal to always have the fuel tanks on ALL vehicles at least half full.

This Month’s Frugal Living Tips:
==============================
72-Hour Emergency Kits:

The time to prepare for an emergency is long before the crisis occurs.  By thinking ahead, organizing supplies, gathering equipment, and developing contingency plans, many emergencies can be met with confident resolve instead of frantic panic.

How do I begin to prepare?
Consider what type of emergencies might arise.
Outline a plan of action in case of each emergency.
Make a list of supplies you might need in case of emergency.
Obtain and organize emergency supplies in orderly, easily-accessible kit(s), shelves, closets, etc.
Practice emergency drills with your family so everyone knows what to do.
