Each kit you make requires 2 liters of water to prepare food. However, this does not include other emergency water drinking. 1 gallon per person per day for drinking and other uses.

Everything you put in your 72-hour kit should be airtight and individually packaged in the original wrappers. This should help keep food fresh and keep bugs out.

Remember this is only a suggestion. You must put into your 72-hour kits that which your family will eat.
