A pile of just rice is survival food and you need a massive volume of it if you want it to last months.

Normally the advice given to people is to have a few days worth stocked up, maybe a week. We easily can cover that. Multiple months is a massive increase.

25 pounds or rice per person will cover 3-4 months, you don’t even need that much. 15 pounds per person will easily cover a major emergency that lasts the winter. You have that room, everyone does.

25lbs is only about 12kg. 1kg of raw rice is about 3000-4000kcal, so 1 days energy for 2 people.

This is if rice is your only source of energy. Obviously you would want other things ideally but those take up even more space. Rice is a starting point to calculate it as it is one of the more dense options.
