I thought I read that Koskeian has now said we should prepare for three weeks. Is this true and is there a link?

Koskinen actually mentions 2 weeks at the local level if the residents figure they need it.

Linda,

This FEMA document suggests having two weeks of water and food for various kinds of disasters:

Emergency Food and Water Supplies

If an earthquake, hurricane, winter storm or other disaster ever strikes your community, you might not have access to food, water and electricity for days, or even weeks. By taking a little time now to store emergency food and water supplies, you can provide for your entire family.

This brochure was developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Community and Family Preparedness Programs which provides information to help families prepare for all types of disasters.
