A wood stove, properly supplied and maintained can provide a sense of security and normalcy during troubled times,especially in cold climes.
"Store what you eat,.. and eat what you store" (keep food in rotation, based on expiration dates).
If your family won't eat 'brussel sprouts', don't store them !!
If there is a chance you may have to 'bug out', have a ready supply of dehydrated foods,
since they are nutritionally similar to canned goods, but take up less space, and are lighter in transport,
but require a clean water source.
Without potable water (water filtration), their benefit is moot; clean snow can be melted, or, used for temporary refridgeration
Always include a first aid kit, and a supply of needed medications, spare glasses, etc., ..since accidents happen !
H/T to Tadslos !
If the SHTF, your family WILL eat Brussels Sprouts. May even fight over them.
Good advice!

No the 87 quake was the Lima Prieta quake and occurred in the Santa Cruz/Bay Area
