Food and Water in an Emergency

FEMA with the American Red Cross

Compact all-in-one booklet: food shelf lives, cooking without power, safe indoor water sources (water heater, pipes), unsafe sources, and the three treatment methods — a good single-download starter doc.

Editor's notes

2004 vintage — agency contact info and some shelf-life specifics are stale (prefer FoodKeeper data for shelf life). Co-branded with the American Red Cross: strip ARC logo/branding when redistributing; the text is a FEMA publication.
