Once a disaster strikes, food, clothing, and shelter may be disrupted due to the severing of roads and the shutdown of lifelines such as water, electricity, and gas. Among these, “food,” which is vital to life and health, must be addressed with particular urgency.

It is said that it takes about three days from the time a disaster strikes until the emergency system is in place. In order to survive these three days, it is important to always be prepared for emergencies and to have a three-day supply of food depending on the number and composition of your family. It is also important to stockpile canned foods, retort pouch foods, water, drinks, and other foods that can be stored for a long period of time, check their expiration dates regularly, and actually experience these stockpiled foods.
