The most likely disaster scenario for me in SoCal is a bigass earthquake. The Northridge Earthquake was a PIA 20 years ago, but food supply, water and power were not really an issue. But the scenario we are considering is the really big one, 8.0 or greater.

The Trophy Wife is considering a 30 day supply of dehydrated food stuffs in a few pails that the company my son works for. 25 year shelf life and the ability to load a few plastic pails into the RV and leave if we need to seems kind of attractive. I have a 20,000 gallon pool, but the way its plumbed with a big earthquake I'm going to assume it would completely drain. So I can store and rotate 100 gallons of water or so, no big deal.

We are looking at this Emergency Reserve 360 Serving Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner Bucket

I can get it for about 25% less than their posted price through my Son. Any other suggestions?

Feel free to add about emergency generators (I have one), neighbors trying to take your stuff, Zombies, guns, etc.
