# Emergency Food Stockpiling Guide
✓
Stock up on canned foods and long-lasting items** â The UK government is recommending people keep extra supplies of canned goods and non-perishable foods at home in case bad weather or other emergencies make it hard to get to shops or receive deliveries.
✓
Choose foods that don't need cooking or refrigeration** â Focus on items like canned vegetables, beans, soups, and other foods that last a long time and can be eaten without needing electricity or fresh water, so you're prepared if services are disrupted.
✓
Keep a small emergency supply ready now** â Start gradually building a stockpile of a week or two of basic foods at home; this way you won't need to rush to shops during an emergency and you'll have peace of mind knowing your family can eat if bad weather strikes.
Always speak to your doctor before making any changes to your health or treatment.
