Bonney Lake City Clerk Harwood “Woody” Edvalson presents a blog series which focuses on what to pack in an emergency 72-hour kit. The last installment discussed individual water needs. This week is part three of the series and discusses food.

Including familiar foods in your emergency preparedness kit is important, according to the American Red Cross. Foods that are high in calories and nutrition are preferable and it’s best to focus on food that requires no refrigeration, water or cooking. Good options include energy bars and nutrition bars, mixed nuts, dried fruits and protein shakes, said Edvalson.
