Germany's federal civil protection office (BBK) gives the most detailed official food list: amounts per person for 10 days, about 2,200 kcal a day.

Water

2 litres per person per day: 20 litres for 10 days.

Per person, 10 days
Food group	Amount
Drinks (water, juice)	20 L
Cereals, bread, potatoes, pasta, rice	3.5 kg
Vegetables and pulses	4.0 kg
Fruit and nuts	2.5 kg
Milk and milk products	2.6 kg
Fish, meat, eggs (or whole-egg powder)	1.5 kg
Fats and oils	about 0.36 kg

Fish, meat and eggs keep only for a limited time: use tins and whole-egg powder.
The 2024 table from Germany's food agency (BLE) gives 3.3 kg rather than 3.5 kg for cereals, bread and potatoes.

Stock food you already eat, and rotate it: use the oldest first and replace it, so nothing expires unnoticed.
For 72 hours, choose food that keeps at room temperature and can be eaten without cooking: tins, crispbread, dried fruit, nuts, muesli, long-life milk.
For a week or longer, add dry staples such as rice, pasta, oats and pulses, plus oil, salt and sugar, and a stove to cook on.
Dry staples need water to cook: count it in your water stock.
Store food cool, dry and dark, in airtight containers once opened.
Allow for babies, special diets, allergies and pets.
Keep a manual can opener, and throw away tins that are swollen, dented or rusty.
