Exactly. I use that to keep my 9 meals from anarchy in my home. And if I had a larger home, I’d have an UPS- and genset backed refigerator/freezer, and keep 14 to 21 days worth of food for everyone in the house (including guests(s)). No need for special stuff, just your off-the-shelf Cup-a-Soups, noodles, crushed tomatos, various cold storage veggies, dried stuffs…

A big bag of rice is good so long as you have potable water.
Beans are excellent protein, same caveat, though canned are good.
Canned veggies, in various sized cans, are great for this as well.

Seeds for the long term. Look up the “Three Sisters” for the best way to plant for subsistence.

The ultimate emergency food? A flock of chickens. A couple of dozen birds can keep a family in meat and eggs, even provide a surplus for trade.
