While looking for quick-soak tips for lentils the other day, Alyssa Joye stumbled upon this collection of vegetarian cooking and general survival tips for a post-apocalyptic landscape. [You have to scroll down a bit for the cooking tips]
You may be able to get vegan food in a disaster, but you can count on NOT getting vegan protein. For that reason your survival kit should focus on protein sources.
My basics for the car and work are canned beans and bean-based soups, tetrapak soup, individual packs of soymilk, vegan energy bars and crackers. SELECT LOW-SODIUM ITEMS, AS YOUR DIET MAY CONSIST ENTIRELY OF THESE FOODS. Since you may not have access to fresh fruit or vegetables for a while, also keep some vitamins or (my choice) Emergen-C packets on hand. I also keep a small bottle of spirits (vodka, brandy, etc.). Sometimes it’s just what you (or others) need to relax–and it can be used as an antiseptic.
Another item people should store away from home is a can of powdered soy or rice protein. I would assume that for several days, one would have access to bread, crackers, dried and canned fruits etc. from one’s work cafeteria, local stores, people’s houses, etc. The difficult thing will be vegan protein–and vitamin C.

Thanks Alyssa!
