Journal of Civil Defense 2009 Vol. 42 No. 1 Food Preservation

In this issue of the Journal of Civil Defense, we discuss food preservation techniques, food dating, and many other valuable tips on survival based on food. Many of you have planted gardens this spring, wondering how your food stocks would be preserved if you suddenly lost power. Lightening and ice storms, high winds, tornados, and hurricanes all pose threats of a short-term power loss. Short-term power outages are easily managed. Eat from the refrigerator first, the freezer second, and the pantry last. Anything longer than a week, however, becomes a challenge. Inspired by a request from a reader, we have included several
fine articles on food preservation. We hope you will find them to be helpful.
