Emergency Water Storage
Emergency water storage is very easy, and it can save your life. No one expects to be in an emergency situation, but it happens. And simple preparedness can be the difference between life and death.
Most of us take fresh drinking water for granted. But you cannot do without it!You can live for 2 weeks without food, but only 3 days without water. It should be the most important part of your emergency preparedness plan. Plan to store from 1-2 gallons per day for each person in your household. And store at least 2 weeks worth of drinking water. That way, even if you find yourself isolated after a winter storm, a hurricane, a tornado or an earthquake, you will have enough water to survive and you’ll be able to work to get essential things done. Of course you’ll need more water for things like washing hands, bathing and cooking…
