How much water should you have on hand in case of an emergency? How\nwill you manage if you are quarantined and cannot shop for groceries for an\nextended period? These questions and others like them have been answered in a\nnew publication from University of Tennessee Extension. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCOVID-19 is obviously everyone\u2019s focus right now, but how many of us are actually prepared to self-quarantine?\u201d asks Janie Burney, UT Extension nutrition specialist with the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences. \u201cFew families have what they need at home to face a crisis situation, but we hope to provide guidance that helps families be more prepared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case a family member falls ill and everyone must\nself-quarantine, Burney suggests families have on hand an assortment of fresh\nfruits and vegetables, frozen or pre-prepared items, and ready-to eat items\nlike peanut butter or protein bars. A minimum of one gallon of water per person\nper day is also suggested. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.tennessee.edu\/publications\/Documents\/D81.pdf\">Be Prepared: Food and Water in an Emergency<\/a> (Publication D 81) is available to read or download online at the UT Extension website: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/utextension.tennessee.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">utextension.tennessee.edu<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For other nutrition resources for families or for other\ncrisis management resources, contact your local county Extension office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through its land-grant mission\nof research, teaching and extension, the University of Tennessee Institute of\nAgriculture touches lives and provides Real.
