Consider soylent or other meal replacement items and military rations for emergency.

Stock up on non-perishable grains, pasta, tomato sauce and canned fish. And I really mean stock up – at least 3-4 weeks worth of meals.

Not in the SF Bay Area, but WF through the Amazon app is still what's been working for us, though I have to log in repeatedly to find a delivery window available...

Thanks for your response.

We do have a fair amount of such emergency supplies, primarily in the form of protein bars, but a lot of other things as well. We would rather leave those be until (and if) there's an actual legit emergency for us to face.

I think the Whole Foods via Amazon is still working, it's just extremely over-used in the bay area, so the orders we actually manage to get through are very small.

I find the chocolate Soylent drink to be quite yummy now and then, especially for breakfast (far above what my standards would be in an emergency) and Amazon is showing delivery this Friday to my apartment in SF.

This is an actual legit emergency.

> This is an actual legit emergency.

No disagreement; remember, we consider every box that arrives as potentially life threatening. And we're quite aware of the local, national and global scope and impact.
