If activity is reduced, healthy people can survive on half of their usual food intake for an extended period and without any food for many days. Food, unlike water, can be rationed safely, except for children and pregnant woman. For emergency cooking you can use a fireplace, or a charcoal grill or camp stove can be used outdoors. You can also heat food with candle warmers, chafing dishes, and fondue pots. Canned food can be eaten right out of the can.
Food Keep food in a dark, dry, cool place.
Keep food covered at all times. Open food boxes or cans carefully so that you can close them tightly after each use. Wrap cookies and crackers in plastic bags, and keep them in tight containers. Empty opened packages of sugar, dried fruits and nuts into screw top jars or air-tight cans to protect them from pests. Inspect all food for signs of spoilage before use.
