If you ever watch T.V. you may see the ads for Ready.gov you know the ad, (Get a kit, Make a plan and Be Informed)
I know as most of you that three days of food is a joke, hell if you remember hurricane katrina it took five days for FEMA to get bottles of water to the people at the super dome. I think that the Ready.gov push is a plan to give people a false sense of preparedness that will lead a lot of people(AKA Walking Dead) the the FEMA camps or at least lead the people into becoming a refugee, and we all know that the last thing you want is to become a refugee under the control of the government (FEMA). Don't fall for this junk prep like you need to live off your storage, because you will need to just that! Here is a good ad....
Get Seed, Know how to use them, store enough food and water for six months to a year, Have a few guns and lots of ammo and know how to clean and use them, have survival skills and stand ready to defend freedom!!!!
This is the info from the web site.
Prepare. Plan. Stay Informed.

Through its Ready Campaign, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security educates and empowers Americans to take some simple steps to prepare for and respond to potential emergencies, including natural disasters and terrorist attacks. Ready asks individuals to do three key things: get an emergency supply kit, make a family emergency plan, and be informed about the different types of emergencies that could occur and their appropriate responses.
All Americans should have some basic supplies on hand in order to survive for at least three days if an emergency occurs. Following is a listing of some basic items that every emergency supply kit should include. However, it is important that individuals review this list and consider where they live and the unique needs of their family in order to create an emergency supply kit that will meet these needs. Individuals should also consider having at least two emergency supply kits, one full kit at home and smaller portable kits in their workplace, vehicle or other places they spend time.

Just a clearification: The pesky constitution gives states and the people rights that the feds cannot usurp. FEMA provides necessities and coordinates logistics. The states are in charge and FEMA was constitutionally prohibited from driving into New Orleans without being asked. The state of Louisianna screwed up for five days. Finally the president acted illegally outside of the federal authority and did what Louisianna wasn't doing. FEMA does NOT come to your aid they provide essentials to your state and they alone have the authority to come to your aid. If you want the federal government to come to your aid you need to be an Indian or on a federal park.
