sessions last for one-half hour, and

Extension monthly preparedness topic
These are some tips for prepar-
ing for a long-term emergency situ-
ation. Keep foods:
That have a long storage life.
That require little or no cook-
ing, water and refrigeration.
That meet specific food needs
for your family.
Do not store up on foods that
are salty or spicy, as this will lead
to higher water consumption rate.
Storage tips:
Keep food in a dry, cool spot.
Wrap perishable food in plas-
tic, and keep in sealed containers.
Empty packages into air-tight
containers for pest protection.
Write the expiration date on all
items, and replace when needed.
Store a can opener and bottle
opener, and get rid of swollen,
dented, and corroded cans.
