Winter storm prepared?
It’s a Southern tradi¬
tion. Whenever the fore¬
cast calls for snow, folks
dash to the store and
deplete the supply of
bread and milk.
But if you’re iced in for
a few days, that bread and
milk isn’t going to satisfy
your family’s nutrition
needs or keep the happy
factor around for long.
So what do you need to
weather a winter storm?
A prepared shelter-in
place environment.
Before the storm
Emergencies don’t call
ahead for reservations.
Preparing for disruptive
weather in advance means
you'll be ready whenever
it comes. During good
weather, winterize your
home by:
• Insulating walls and
attics
• Sealing air leaks
around windows and
doors with caulk or
weather-stripping
• Installing storm doors
and windows, or covering
windows with plastic.
As you do routine gro¬
cery shopping, purchase
one or two extra shelf-sta¬

ble, ready-to-eat canned
goods, like non-con
densed soup, canned
chicken breast and tuna,
pasta meals, and vegeta¬
bles. This builds your
emergency food supply
without adding too much
to your grocery bill each
week.
Unlike frozen foods,
canned foods won’t be
damaged by a long power
outage. Make sure you
have a manual can open¬
er. too. Dry foods like
pasta and rice are stable,
but they require water and
cooking, luxuries that
may be in short supply
during a storm.
The Federal Emergency
Management Agency rec¬
ommends stocking at
least a three-day supply
of adequate nutrition,
water and prescription
medications for each fam¬
ily member, including
pets and livestock. Why
three days? That’s how
long it may take to restore
electricity and clear roads
of ice, fallen trees and
other hazards. But as
we’ve seen with recent
natural disasters, actual
restoration of electricity.

can take much longer.
To get through disrup¬
tive storms or other emer¬
gencies you’ll also need:
•Water — one gallon
per person per day for
drinking and hygiene
• Alternate heat source
and fuel, like a hefty sup¬
ply of firewood for your
fireplace or wood-burn¬
ing stove
• Flashlights with extra
batteries
• NOAA weather radio
• First aid kit
• Entertainment —
when you’re storm-stuck,
there’s a lot of waiting.
Books, cards, board
games and energy-releas¬
ing activities (besides
hauling firewood) keep
cabin fever on hold.
During the storm
Use foods from the
refrigerator first, then
frozen foods, then
canned foods. If your
oven isn’t working, use
coals from your fireplace
to heat food or cook out
side on your grill. Don’t
bring your grill inside;
this can cause deadly

Long-term food
storage
Canned foods keep for
months, but oxygen
inside the packaging
causes food quality to
decline over time.
Working with a grant
from NASA, food scien¬
tists at the University of
Georgia are working on a
process that squeezes so
much oxygen out of food
it can retain just-picked
quality for years.
The idea is to make
comfort foods like maca
roni and cheese available
to astronauts on multi¬
year journeys to Mars,
but it’s also applicable to
