I have enough for my family of four ... for us four, and no more ... to last for about two months.
That's more than many have, and less than some others. We have no yard, and can't garden, so that's out. But the fact we face every day is that 95% or more of Alaska's food is imported. Any interruption in the supply line will put a hurt on lots of folks, in fairly short order.
As has been described elsewhere, one federal agency tells us to be prepared, while another tells retailers that those who prepare are "potential" terrorists ... whatever that means. Point of fact: everybody but the Pope - and perhaps even he - is a "potential" terrorist.
How likely a person is to do anything remotely resembling terrorism is another thing entirely. I'm about as unlikely a "terrorist" as anyone ... father of two, an active follower of Jesus, productive member of society earning a wage & paying his taxes ... yes, I can see how that would inspire terror in a government employee.
Yeah, right.

If possible I'd push that out to three months. 6 if you have the room.
A year would be better still.
According to the PSAs we are definitely suspect - caucasion and middle-class. Makes you wonder how many gummit employees there are doing searches on blogs run by gunners and preppers.
With our boxes stacked against the walls, we have staples for awhile - perhaps 8 months. But it has the appearance of..."selfishness" if any shiny shoes chose to see it that way.
A friend gave us a stack of Homeland Sec brochures on preparedness to toss casually about. "See? Even YOU said so..." May do no good at all but...worth the try.
