If you live in a hurricane prone area that is known for hurricane strikes on the shoreline then perhaps you are tired of evacuating every single time a storm looks like it might come your way. Perhaps if you are a many miles inland you have decided that during the next large Atlantic tropical hurricane of a high magnitude or category that you are going to stay put and batten down the hatches.

If you decide to stay during the mandatory evacuation of the major catastrophic and large category hurricane it is not advised, however if you do you will need to stock up with food and water. You will lead one gallon a day of drinking water for yourself and each pet that you have, as well as extra water for splash bathing and cleaning. Perhaps now is a good time to start collecting recipes and collecting food that you can use to make these recipes, which require no power.

Generally during a large category hurricane strike such as the ones that we saw during the 2005 Atlantic tropical hurricane season and taking out the power for up to three to six weeks; there is a good chance that the water supply will also be off or out.

There are many great recipes that require no power or heating. If you decide to stay it is advised that you try to figure out recipes that you can make using canned foods that you do not have to cook or dry foods that you can use to make a meal. Please consider this in 2006.
