I decided to tally it as:
frozen storage (Non-emergency plan: about 3 months of food. It comes under life preparedness: if you break a bone or whatever you aren't going to be utilising your pantry basics. It's great for bouts of influenza and whatever small things life throws at you. I cycle through the pantry basics using OAMC recipe plans for frozen meals. I think of it as a staple part of planning ahead).
In conjunction with
pantry (Emergency storage: ideally one year. I think it makes sense to aim for at least three months of it in the value of : all it takes is a can opener kind of prep/low water and no energy useage for disaster situations).
