How are you protecting them from insects, potential rodents, or water damage?
If the economy gets so bad that you need to dip into the basement rice, you very likely might not be able to get your sump pump fixed or keep out pests as well.
I have a week of emergency food, but it’s stuff my family will actually like to eat and is fairly nutritious. Beans and rice will only get you so far. And my emergency stash is in waterproof storage containers on a shelf. I just advise you to actually look into shelf stable foods you’ll enjoy eating and look into proper storage practices for food.
