How much emergency food do I need?
Enter your household and how long you want to be covered. We'll show the cheapest single products that provide enough calories.
Notes
- 2,000 calories a day is a common planning figure for an adult. Children, older adults and very active people may need less or more. Set the number that fits your household.
- This shows single-product options only. Mixing products can sometimes cost less or reduce waste.
- Plan water separately. Many freeze-dried meals need water to prepare, on top of drinking water. Ready.gov recommends at least one gallon per person per day.
- Prices are a snapshot from each brand's store. Check the current price before you buy.
