I would guess that everyone on this site has enough lead to risk the integrity of their foundation, so get some food and don't go around licking door knobs and you will likely be as prepared as you can be.

If you like profiteering, get a few cases of N95 masks and 'supply' those that didn't think ahead.
We're redoing an out building, to have a dedicated place to store paper goods. That will free up another building we can climate control, if needed for canned goods. Sadly neither the spouse or i have gotten in to canning. So we're browsing costco and other larger stores (shamrock/foodservice warehouse) for bulk buying. Also have an in at restaurant depot. for long term shelf items. Unfortunately for livimg in a small rural town is. The trip to the valley for bulk buying is a full day.


The most important thing we've seen that people tend to ignore is.... Checking expiration dates. Buying in bulk is nice. Providing the pallet of goods you have, doesn't expire in 6 months.
