Wow! I started checking out a few about freeze dried food storage until I came across to this one! What a great site! I enjoy seeing websites that understand the value of providing a prime resource for free. Thank you!

wake-up call for our area. those on city water experienced several hours of no water service without warning.

We had similar situation here in Apex, NC about a year and a half ago. The EQ Chemical processing facility basically blew up and burned for a couple of days. A noxious cloud of chemical nastiness formed. A good portion of the town was told to evacuate and we couldn't come back for two or three days. Another firm believer in the 72 hour kit now too!

It always seems like the things people end up using their kits or food storage for are never the "typical" emergencies we would expect. Crazy!

there was a propane tank leak this week in my county resuling in a noxious cloud over several towns. people were woken up at 2am and told they have less than 5 minutes to evacuate. the newspaper reported people left their homes without heart medicine, baby formula,when they were already sick with nowhere to go. they were told to evacuate to the local high school. i completely see the need for a bug out bag/72 hr kit now!

You hear about natural disasters all the time on the news. Who knew there would be snow in Atlanta, Georgia!

In "natural disasters" you forgot to mention crop loss. There have been cases of blight knocking out tomatoes and potatoes in recent years. It hasn't been as bad as it was in Ireland back in the 1800's but it could happen (and a reason that frozen food is still good in an emergency).

Just discovered your blog and I will definitely be bookmarking it as another young mom getting her food storage act together. Wanted to add to your list of natural disasters here -- pandemic. If you a required to shelter in place like folks in Mexico needed to recently with the H1N1 Swine Flu outbreak you will want to make sure you are prepared when the stores aren't open.

Absolutely! Being adequately prepared to deal with an unexpected natural disaster is a huge reason to have food storage. Rescue and response efforts aren't always immediate, as we saw with with Hurricane Katrina and food storage and emergency preparedness is the way to be self sufficient, even during dicy times.
