Not a requirement but it was a two year supply
People used to buy wheat grinders and big tin cans of wheat. Look up Magi Mill and Wonder Mill, vintage wheat grinders commonly owned by LDS families at one time.
Plus buying 5 gallon cans of TVP (textured vegetable protein). Which they eventually threw away, it was inedible. Big tins of pasta, macaroni and that.They stored large containers of water. Also many other items. Eventually the two years went down to 72 hours or whatever.
I think, but not sure, this all started with the 1960's Cuban missile crisis, fallout shelter and preparedness days.

Used to be a year but they realized there are some unrealistic aspects of that so believe the last one was 3 mos.

It's been 12 months for a long time, back even in the 70s. More recently it has been 72 hrs as a minimum.
