Stocking the Pantry Workshop

I will be teaching a workshop on emergency preparation in Manhattan on October 27th from 1-5PM. 

The workshop will cover:
-What supplies are most critical to have on hand if power goes out for an extended period
-How to prepare for different kinds of emergencies (short term power outage vs. larger scale natural disaster)
-What foods store well, how to store them so they stay good and how much you will need
-How to store water and how much may be needed
-What skills should you learn to be better prepared in case of emergency

At the end of the workshop, you should be able to make an individualized preparation plan that addresses the things you think are most likely to happen (blizzard, tornado, brown out, black out, ice storm, flood...).  We will also enjoy a meal made from exclusively long keeping foods to demonstrate that you can live quite well off your pantry.

If you'd like to sign up for the class, go to www.tryufm.org and click on non-credit classes.  You can then search by instructor, topic or date to find the workshop.  The course fee is $15.  I am not getting paid to teach this class - all funds are going to a local non-profit group working on improving sustainability in the area.  It will be fun and I hope to see you there!
