Pre-Calculated for Group Emergency Planning
Planning food and water for large groups can be complicated. These kits remove the guesswork by providing pre-calculated rations based on common 72-hour emergency planning guidelines used in schools, workplaces, and public facilities. Each kit includes one SOS 2,400-calorie emergency food bar per person per day and six SOS 4.2 oz emergency water pouches per person per day — providing a complete 72-hour food and water supply for your target group size with no additional calculation required.
All SOS — US Coast Guard Approved, Kosher Certified, Made in the USA
All food bars and water pouches in these kits are SOS brand — US Coast Guard approved, kosher certified, triple purified, and made in the USA. SOS 2,400-calorie food bars provide 6 individually wrapped 400-calorie segments per bar for easy distribution. SOS 4.2 oz water pouches are individually sealed for hygienic single-serve distribution without shared containers. Both components carry a 5-year shelf life.
Case-Packed Format for Organized Facility Storage
Supplies arrive in original manufacturer cardboard cases — durable, stackable, and sized for efficient storage in supply rooms, closets, and preparedness areas. The case-packed format protects contents, allows efficient stacking, and keeps supplies organized for rapid access during an emergency. Cases are clearly labeled for easy inventory management as part of your facility's annual preparedness review.
For organizations needing mobility and rapid deployment across large facilities, the same kit contents are available in rolling bin configurations — see 72-Hour Emergency Ration Kits in Rolling Bin.
Supports Shelter-in-Place and Disaster Planning
These kits are commonly used as part of shelter-in-place procedures, evacuation staging, disaster preparedness programs, and emergency supply rooms. They are designed for organizations responsible for large occupant loads including school districts and campuses, corporate workplaces and offices, warehouses and manufacturing facilities, government and public agency buildings, and emergency preparedness coordinators and safety teams.
Shipping and Delivery
Larger kits ship via pallet freight depending on size and weight. Please ensure your facility has appropriate receiving capability — loading dock, liftgate access, or forklift — prior to shipment. Our team can assist with delivery planning before your order ships. Contact us at 888.733.7245 or quotes@moreprepared.com with any delivery questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in each kit?
Each kit includes one SOS 2,400-calorie emergency food bar per person and six SOS 4.2 oz emergency water pouches per person — providing a complete 72-hour food and water supply for your target group size. All supplies arrive in original manufacturer stackable cardboard cases. Both food bars and water pouches carry a 5-year shelf life.
How are quantities calculated?
Kits are pre-calculated based on one 2,400-calorie food bar per person for 72 hours and six 4.2 oz water pouches per person per day (approximately 25 oz per person per day) for 72 hours. This meets common 72-hour emergency planning guidelines used by schools, workplaces, and government facilities. No additional calculation is required — simply select the kit size matching your occupant count.
What group sizes are available?
Case-packed kits are available for groups of 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, and 1,000 persons.
How much space is required to store these kits?
Storage space varies by kit size. The 1,000-person kit includes 85 stackable cases weighing approximately 2,850 lbs. Smaller kits require proportionally less space. Cases are designed to stack efficiently in standard supply rooms and storage closets. Contact us for specific case counts and dimensions for your target kit size.
What is the shelf life of the food and water components?
All SOS food bars and water pouches carry a 5-year shelf life from the date of manufacture. Store in a cool dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Follow date markings on cases when planning rotation cycles. Expiring inventory can often be donated to food banks or shelters before replacement.
What is the difference between case-packed and rolling bin kits?
Both kit formats contain identical SOS food bars and water pouches pre-calculated for the same group sizes. Case-packed kits arrive in original manufacturer cardboard cases and are best suited for centralized storage in supply rooms and closets. Rolling bin kits include the same contents organized in one or more rolling bins for mobility and rapid deployment across large facilities, multiple floors, or campus environments.
