But pulling all those cans and boxes of dry mixes out of storage may not be viable if you're in a wildfire, hurricane or other emergent disaster situation and are forced to evacuate quickly. Every household should have a go-bag ready to, well, grab and go. That includes lightweight, easily transportable and extremely shelf stable food stores.
Which segues to @Edxzxz's question, to which he's received multiple answers. Yeah, sure it's fun to joke about end of the world, zombie-type apocalyptic scenarios. I'm as guilty of that as anyone (ufozs.com). But unless you're not following recent (and not so recent) events - things like California wildfires and mudslides, Hurricane Ian and even going back to Katrina all demonstrate the very real possibility of being forced to leave home and hearth quickly. And Katrina and Ian especially vividly showed that in a widespread regional disaster, you absolutely cannot count on the authorities to provide for your basic needs. Certainly not in the first 72 hours.
I actually hate terms like "bugging out", "SHTF" and other doomsday vernacular. It marginalizes what is a legitimate and very real contingency that many of us will face at least once in our lifetimes. Even the federal government recognizes that help will likely be at least 3 days away in large scale disasters. So they encourage every single household to have an emergency kit. And if you live in places like modern Japan, you'd be consider loony if you didn't have an earthquake/tsunami kit ready to go at a moment's notice.

And finally, to naysayers who argue what's the point in buying a bunch of over-priced food that you won't use for the next 25 years, I'd posit: how different is that from the thousands of dollars of auto, health, life and property insurance premiums we all "waste" over our lifetimes knowing full well we probably won't need most of it? Ditto for those smoke detectors you faithfully change the batteries in every year or so. If a measly 3 days of food, a change of clothes, RX meds and photocopies of your important papers aren't worth gathering in a grab and go kit, then surely insurance, smoke detectors and household fire extinguishers are a waste of money.
It's called managing risk and involves expending resources on things that - God willing - you'll never, ever use. Disaster preparedness isn't just for doomsday preppers anymore.

The water that will still come out will be reverse flow through the pipes until that runs out in a few days .. AND that water is not be safe to drink depending on many factors.
So you can have all the food you want but it will be the lack of water that gets 99% of ppl. And if you can get water - your going to need to boil it to kill the microbes.
The last bulk amount I got was a 10-lb Quaker box Costco and Sam's Club sells, that sometimes gets discounted. You could store it in buckets or half-gallon mason jars using oxygen absorbers. I've only done that with rice so far, but I'm thinking about dat oatmeal now.
