Water quickly becomes a precious resource following many types of disasters. Everyone needs water every day! Your emergency planning should include one gallon per person per day for consumption, cooking, and hygiene. Store purified water in thoroughly cleaned, sealed containers, and replace it every six months. Consider adding a water filter to your emergency preparedness kits so that you can safely use water you find. And don’t forget water for your house pets too!
