I'd also add some chocolate or other treat for the same reason--if you're digging into the emergency stores it's because something has gone wrong and it would be nice to have some small treats. I like your list and will be referring to it again I'm sure.

In an emergency cooking down sauce for 2 hours might be just a tad inconvenient. Good thinking. Jarred tomato sauce is a great idea…adding it to the list.

We have a bit stored up as part of my husband's evacuation prep. We may have some water purifying tablets...but I should check. Thanks for the reminder. Yes…I should have mentioned water.
