For the people who have the energy to do it, and who keep freezers full of great meats and such, they should be prepared to can everything worth saving.
Canning your freezer wealth would be a heck of a chore and would involve being completely prepared for the effort, but it would be the ideal if things really went bad.
I watched the TV series ‘Jericho’ and it bugged me terribly how they treated the supermarket refrigerated food even though they knew this might be the big one.
The Mayor should have called those small-town ladies and set to canning everything they could from the store, not only would it all be saved but then those precious protein calories could have been distributed with great efficiency and over a longer period of time when they were most needed for survival, instead of wasted or gorged on over a couple of days.

I try to keep enough empty jars on hand in case my freezers go. I’m feeling vulnerable now since my garden produce has been taking my emergency supply, lol!.
and having a gas stove is crucial too.
