IMO you are best off getting food your kids will eat that is semi-long term. If they are not going to eat it now it will be hard to get them to eat it then. Besides the pasta, sliced peaches, chocolate bars, peanut butter and the candies there is not much my kids would eat in an IMP from my experience. I don't even like most of them after eating lots of them. Best bit to me is the fruit and chocolate bar.

Getting your hands on IMPs will be a matter of knowing a guy who knows a guy. Though things have changed a bit - aka. Less in the way of roving expiry dates - I went with the fresh direct option and purchased from Meal Kit Supply Canada, who manufacture and/or repackage direct contract components. These are heavily untilied by Canadian and international organizations. When I start to run down on my best before dates I just use them for day trips and rebuy a case. Oddly, MREs used to be an expensive option, but if I'm out and about, getting a day's worth of calories will cost me like $25 bucks, as opposed to the $10 or so for an MRE. Plus, there's coffee. That's like $4 right there
That said, these are not good for kids. Or anyone really. Freeze dried is less convenient, but healthy. There are some that actually reconstitute with cold water, which is another option.

Just add water and wait, unless you want it hot then cook it
The issue is going to be shelfe lift. Everyone claims oh I will check it every year bla bla bla. Reality is no one ever does. They throw their stuff in a box and hide it under the bed and forget about it until it is needed. Buy things that will last forever, not only does it save you money, it will actually be good to go when you need it.

Since you're in Delta, you may as well just have a few fishing rods for when Richmond sinks and you have a TON of new fishable area to get food from.
HAHA, I just moved to Tsawwassen from spending 30 years in Richmond last summer. Every once in a while I would lay in bed wondering if / when the 'Big One' would hit and how fast I could get out of Dodge if it happened.
Now I live on a nice high hill in Tsawwassen where I can see it all happen down in the distance while I (hopefully my Vodka doesn't break in the quake) can sip a martini and soak it in to tell the grand kids.
Cheers,
