![]() Then in your notebook group the foods you already purchase into groups such as grains and dry goods, canned, fresh produce frozen and other goods like medical, hygiene, etc. ![]() This is important so that you are sure to have what else you might need like seasoning, oil, veggies. Like we don’t eat rice often but like fried rice and learned how many cultures use rice, so it becomes more usable to us if we needed. Then keeping some kind of basics on hand for making pizza right? And we expanded our interests by learning to make new meals using items maybe we don’t use as often. So we set out to find a great crust recipe and perfected that, and learned to make a good sauce. For example when Covid hit we couldn’t go for pizza a couple times a month. Now you have to anticipate that if there were no going out to eat, a few extra meals too right? Now in emergency, you would alter how you eat and plan out meals. If you multiply those numbers by twelve then you know roughly what your needs are for the year. This is essentially a shopping list for you. Do you need stewed tomatoes, or ground beef? How much/many? write that total on a summary page for the month. Anyways, what you want is to draw down how many of an item is something you’d ALREADY BE BUYING every month. This doesn’t inc Mac n cheese specifically. We have pasta meals about four times a month, I make two dinners roughly and the kids will make a couple. Such as having salads multiple times a week or fruit smoothies for snack. So I have to first and idea of the typical meals we eat each month and how often we eat them. I have a notebook and break things into pages. ![]() For example, anti-diarrheal is needful or the pink stuff but maybe you don’t have it till you need it.Īnyways, yes, write it all down. Something I don’t THINK I’ve seen is for you to assess what you have and what you guys typically buy, plus extra items that are needful but you don’t buy monthly like certain medicines. While we can take lots of lessons from humanitarian crises we should also respect just how much better we've got it. Instead, consider the poorer countries' challenges as a canary or bellwether for future constraints to access to the commodities listed above.Īlso, I'd be remiss if I didn't suggest putting some money towards good quality aid agencies who are at the sharp end of real SHTF day in and day out, alongside local partner organisations. So dont get caught up with over thinking the IPC 5 stuff. IPC 5 is full on famine, which incidentally is always localised (not widespread) and 95%++ caused by deliberate deprivation by armed forces (official and non-state armed opposition groups). Famine Early Warning System (FEWS) is a humanitarian info source that uses a graded system called the Integrated Phase Classification (IPC). When specific items get scarce, people turn to alternatives, which also in turn could (big hypothetical for wealthy countries) become scarce. It's already an issue for Lebanon and Yemen. While availability may decrease temporarily, it'll affect poorer countries first. Sunflower oil and wheat are the ones at most risk.
