Calculate your pantry
Public Safety Canada advises having supplies for at least 72 hours. For more margin, aim for 7-10 days.
Your recommended pantry
For your household and the days you entered, store roughly:
- Water and drinks 35 L
- Grains, pasta, rice and bread 3.5 kg
- Vegetables and pulses (canned) 3.5 kg
- Fruit and nuts 1.4 kg
- Milk and dairy 3.5 kg
- Fish, meat and eggs (canned) 2.1 kg
- Oils and fats 0.4 kg
- Sugar, salt and basics 0.4 kg
Indicative amounts based on the food-reserve pyramid used by civil protection agencies. Prioritise food you already eat and that keeps without refrigeration, and check the use-by dates every quarter.
