I do keep tins of various items and packets of microwaveable rice on hand.

It all depends what goes down and how long for.
Food is the tip of the iceberg.
What about electricity and water?
If the power stays on and we've still got the contents of the freezer we'd be ok for a month, without that our tinned/packet food would keep us going for a bit more than a week.

A good point - electricity is rather necessary for a lot of things including, I suspect, pumping water.
