How much food should you stock up on in case of emergency? A few days' worth, according to the PA Emergency Management Agency. "We know groceries are pricey right now," the agency said on social media, "but it's important to build up your pantry with a few days' worth of food if you can."
The agency doesn't elaborate, but "can" might be the key word here. Emergency management officials here and nationwide in the past have said that "nonperishables" - canned and packaged food - are best to stock up on in case of a power outage and shortages caused by natural disasters or supply-chain problems. Temperatures this time of year might be suitable for keeping food safely fridge-cold out of doors, but do you really want to go out in a storm to retrieve last night's leftovers?
