Water
Water is the very essence of life. It keeps us alive, an integral part of cooking, and makes up most of who we are. While the human body can last weeks without food, water is a necessity for survival. Following a disaster, clean drinking water may not be available. Your regular water source could be cut off or compromised through contamination. Having a proper form of access to clean drinking water can provide health, safety, and convenience when in an emergency, such as earthquakes, or a disaster. Prepare yourself by building a supply of water that will meet your family's need during an emergency.
Why Water Storage
Water is essential to survival, as it is used not only for hydration, but also for personal hygiene, cooking, and cleaning. Government studies recommend a minimum of four litres of water per person per day--for drinking, food preparation, personal hygiene, and dishwashing. When disasters such as an earthquake strikes, access to clean drinking water may be interrupted for an undetermined amount of time. In the event of a disaster or emergency, having a safe and accessible form of water storage can allow you to survive.
