Have a Long-Term Water Storage Plan for Emergencies:
Water is earth's most valuable resource. It is the essential element to survival. All living things need it to survive. But in the near future, there may not be enough to sustain life on our planet.
AMOUNT TO STORE:
Storing and knowing how to gather and decontaminate water is necessary in every emergency plan and emergency supplies kit.
It is said that the average person can survive only three (3) days without water. Following a disaster, clean drinking water may not be available. Regular water sources could be cut-off or compromised through contamination. If evacuating, water sources will take on many undesireable and contaminated forms. Building a supply of water is only the beginning of preparing for an emergency. After the initial supply is gone, knowing how to collect and decontaminate subsequent supplies is crucial. The search for potable (drinkable) water sources should always be a major priority.
Considering the amount of water a person uses in one day under normal conditions, it's no wonder that water storage should be a priority for emergency situations. Calculate minimum water storage amounts to be 1 gallon of [drinking (32 ounces) and sanitation] water per day per person for a minimum of 3 days. More is better. Children, nursing mothers and sick people may need more water. Water use may increase for a medical emergency and warm weather climates and can double in very hot temperatures. Additional water must be considered in emergency water storage plans for Pets and to re-hydrate dehydrated foods. A mimimum of 32 ounces of drinking water per day, per person, should be calculated in the water storage plan.
If the local water supply or well is contaminated, turn off the water supply to the residence/business.
COLLECTION / SOURCES:
When a working faucet is not available, consider these options. Filtering and Purification methods should always be applied.
Replenishable Water Sources should always be sought after
Residence / Office: Hot Water Heater, Toilet, Ice Trays, Bath Tub, Hot Tub, Dehumidifier, Sink, Garden Hose. At the very first alert of a serious Emergency, fill all of these water reservoirs then turn off the public water supply to prevent internal water storage contamination from the outside. Try to prevent contamination of water sources but ALWAYS treat and filter water before use.
Community: swimming pools, exterior spigots on houses and office buildings (get a Sillcock Key), water drainage systems, pot holes.
Undrinkable: While not the ideal solution for drinking water, in a crisis situation, nearly any water can be distilled and filtered to make drinkable (potable) water, even Urine and Salt Water. Read about Uses for Urine.
Nature: Produce Drinking Water from the Air, Ground and Undrinkable Water, Ocean, lakes, ponds, streams, puddles, some plant leaves, vines, Solar Still, Plant Transpiration Bag, Rain Catching, Fog Catching, Morning Dew Collection from surfaces by soaking up with rags.
PURIFYING:
Generally, any type of water can be made drinkable (Potable) with the correct method to filter and purify it.
Read Methods to Purify Water
STORAGE METHODS:
Commercially bottled water is the safest and most reliable emergency water supply
Keep bottled water in its original container and do not open until you need to use it
Observe the expiration or "use by" date (about 18 months shelf life)
Personal water containers require special considerations
Do not use glass containers because they can break and are heavy
Use food grade water storage containers from surplus or camping supplies stores
If reusing commercial drink containers
Use 2-liter plastic soft drink bottles – not plastic jugs or cardboard containers
Do Not Use containers that have had milk or fruit juice in them
Before use, thoroughly clean containers with dishwashing soap & water & rinse completely
Sanitize: add a solution of 1 teaspoon of non-scented liquid household bleach to a quart of water
Swish sanitizing solution in the container so that it touches all surfaces
After sanitizing, thoroughly rinse out the sanitizing solution with clean water
Fill container to the top with regular tap water*
Label the container with a 6-month "use by" date and Replace the water every six (6) months
Store all water in a cool, dark place
Reusing Water: Consider water as a very valuable resource. Don't waste the drinking water, that has expired, by dumping it down the drain. Just because it should not be used for internal consumption, reuse it for washing the body, clothes or dishes, flushing the toilet, watering the garden, filling the car radiator or anything else that uses water. Always think about alternate uses for anything you are about to throw away.

A very important thing to remember! Water (at least in the desert, where I live) is hard to come by. Remember that it's important to have water on hand, as well as means to purify water. Also, remember that in a crisis you should fill your bath tubs, and you can use the water in your hot water and even toilet tanks, if need be. #edcblades #edc #everydaycarry #survival #selfdefense #knifereview #knives #survivalgear #knifecommunity #blades #survival #shtf #prepper #zombieapocalypse #bugoutbag #alwaysprepared #thewalkingdead #backpacking #outdoors #neverunarmed #bladesonboard #teotwawki #outdoors #camping #campinggear #adventure #stayalive #StaySharp #needwater #emergencywater #incaseshit #beprepared
