Ready with water

Click here to read the intro to this series.

Access to drinkable water is the first priority for emergency preparedness.

Why it matters: FEMA recommends one gallon per day per person in your household.

• For at least 3 days.

 Consider your options

 Store drinking water

• Bottled water is a good option —> a $4 case of 24 16.9 oz water bottles is just over 3 gallons
• These 5 to 30 gallon containers are a great option if you have adequate room for storage.

 Filter drinking water

• The Outback Gravity Water Filter can filter 12 gallons of water per day and is used by the International Red Cross.
• The LifeStraw is a compact filter you can use on the go —> also perfect for camping and hiking.

 For your Smart Homeowner list

• Consider the best water strategy for you and your family.

Best,

Travis
