Without sufficient fluids and food, symptoms of deficiency, exhaustion and loss of strength quickly arise. However, an alert mind and good physical condition are important during an emergency. It is therefore particularly important to take preventive measures for the diet.

In Germany, the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance recommends emergency stocks for private households; in Switzerland, the Federal Office for Economic State Supply recommends a minimum stock in every household. Other countries also make similar recommendations.
