As Bill Clinton said today on the radio, these are the items needed
first and the most urgently:
potable water
food, ready to eat, packaged or canned
medical supplies & medicine
temporary shelter
less urgent but useful items I would suggest are:
eyeglasses
cooking gear and utensils, i.e. camp stoves & fuel, preferably butane
small fire extinguishers
bulk food items, rice, beans, all grains, salt, honey, sugar,
seeds, nuts, dehydrated fruits and vegetables, noodles, soy milk and
dehydrated tofu, miso and soy sauce, Asian (apanese, Korean, Chinese,
Thai, Vietnamese traditional foods are durable, nourishing and very
portable - not Carribean but still nourishing
There are others but I cannot remember them, Google it for the full
list, but that should be obvious.
