Another important item to have during a pandemic are canned goods. This includes food items like different kinds of meat and vegetables, as well as canned spaghetti, soups and many others. During an emergency, you don’t want to have to leave the house too often, and sourcing out food can also become an issue later on. Having canned goods at home will at least ensure you and your family that you at least have food to last you for a while. Plus, canned goods have a long shelf-life, unlike fresher food that cannot last for more than a week, even when refrigerated.
