As coronavirus spreads and public health officials warn about more cases coming to the United States, emergency preparedness experts are urging Americans to stock up on supplies now so they can shelter at home for weeks, according to an article on the Boston Herald website.
“By the time it’s clear that coronavirus is spreading here, good luck getting what you want — whether it’s food, respirators or gloves,” John Stokes of The Prepared said.
Stokes’ advice — including being able to shelter at home for at least two weeks without leaving for supplies or outside help — is similar to information on the website of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Under the section “Coronavirus: Learn How to Stay Safe,” the DHS website states that before a pandemic, people should “store a two week supply of water and food.”
