The first thing off the shelves in the advent and aftermath of a disruptive event is bottled water. Clean water must be part of your family’s emergency preparedness plans.
Recommendation for drinking and cooking water per person per month:
Drinking: 15 gallons of clean water for drinking per person per month.
Cooking: Freeze-dried food uses 3/4 to 1 cup of water to rehydrate.
Recommended: 7.5 gallons of cooking water per person per month.
Total of drinking and cooking: 22.5 gallons
This is roughly the size: L 22 x W 11 x H 30″
Hygiene: Grey water, not quality drinking water is fine.
Don’t forget drinking water for your pet!
