Severe Weather and the Importance of Water
If your home is hit by sever weather, your water supply could be cut off or contaminated.
An adequate supply of drinking water is perhaps the most important part of your Storm Readiness Kit.
Allow one gallon per person per day.
A three day supply is a good minimum. If you have been warned of severe weather and have sufficient time, fill sinks, tubs and buckets with water. This water can be used for hygiene and the water in your kit can be saved for consumption. Ceramic water filters or purification tablets such as those used by campers, are also great for emergency water purification.
