Built on Real Emergency Preparedness Data
28 real-world emergency scenarios, USDA nutritional data, and personalized recommendations -- everything grounded in facts, not guesswork.
From power outages to natural disasters
Complete nutritional data for every item
Recommendations based on your specific inventory
Three steps to total clarity
From chaos to confidence in minutes, not months.
Track What You Have
Add your food, water, and supplies — by hand, barcode scan, or CSV import. Salt & Prepper calculates your real days of coverage based on your family size and caloric needs.
See Where You Stand
Your dashboard shows exactly how many days your family can survive on what you have. Expiring items get flagged before they go to waste. Gaps in protein, water, or calories get called out — not vaguely, with specific quantities.
Plan and Rotate
AI-generated meal plans use your stored food first, so nothing expires unused. Weekly shopping lists separate what to buy from what to pull from storage. Emergency scenario simulations show how your supplies hold up against 28 real-world situations.
Spreadsheets Work Until They Don't
Most preppers start with a spreadsheet. It works for 20 items. At 200, you stop updating it. At 500, you have no idea what's expiring next week.
Salt & Prepper handles the math you stopped doing — calorie totals across hundreds of items, days of coverage that update as you add and consume, FIFO rotation that actually gets followed. The spreadsheet told you what you entered. This tells you what it means.
Emergency preparedness questions, answered
Practical answers to the most common food storage and preparedness questions.
FEMA recommends a minimum 72-hour supply. Most preparedness experts suggest 30–90 days for realistic scenarios like extended power outages, supply chain disruptions, or severe weather events. Salt & Prepper helps you set a goal and track your progress toward it.
Food storage tracking means maintaining an organized inventory of your emergency food, water, and supplies — including quantities, expiration dates, nutritional content, and storage locations. It replaces spreadsheets and paper lists with automated calculations like days of coverage and caloric balance.
Multiply your family size by 2,000 calories per day, then multiply by your target number of days. A family of 4 preparing for 90 days needs roughly 720,000 calories. Our free food storage calculator does this math for you and breaks it down by food category.
White rice (25+ years sealed), dried beans (25+ years), freeze-dried meals (25 years), honey (indefinite), salt (indefinite), and canned goods (2–5 years). Salt & Prepper tracks expiration dates and flags items that need rotation before they go bad.
FEMA recommends 1 gallon per person per day for drinking and sanitation — minimum. In hot climates or with physical activity, double that. A family of 4 needs at least 120 gallons for a 30-day supply. Our water storage calculator helps you plan for your specific situation.
Your inventory data is stored securely and encrypted. We do not sell, share, or analyze your data for advertising. Salt & Prepper is a tool for your family — your supplies list stays between you and your household.
