Tip of the month – Water!You can live a lot longer without food than you can without water. So water is perhaps the most essential item in your food storage.
- Store at Least 14 Gallons Per Person (a 2-Week Supply).
The recommended amount of water storage is a two- week supply, which is a minimum of 14 gallons per person. Seven gallons is for drinking (the average person needs at least 2 quarts of water per day), and seven gallons is for sanitary purposes. If you have dehydrated items in your food storage, you may wish to store additional water.
- Water Containers: DO use
• Containers that are thoroughly cleaned and rinsed, non-toxic, non-corrodible, and tightly-sealed.
• Ideally, use a size container that you can carry when it's full of water.
• Good containers are 2-liter pop bottles, food-grade plastic buckets or drums (available at many emergency-supply stores).
- DO NOT use
• Containers that are not intended for food -- they'll leach chemicals into your water.
• Plastic milk jugs (they will eventually leak).
