Emergency Food & Water |
 |
One of the most important
considerations in the
aftermath of a disaster is
water. Clean, safe drinking
water may not be readily
available due to plumbing
issues. Water is something we
often take for granted until
it is not there.
It is recommended that you
store one gallon of
emergency
water per
person, per day for drinking,
cooking and sanitation
purposes. Store-bought
bottled water does not have a
long shelf life, must be
rotated frequently and cannot
withstand extreme
temperatures
like Aquablox
water. You can
also choose a 55-gallon water
barrel and a water preserver
which will keep for 5 years.
Never drink water from your
toilet tank as some experts
tell you!
Food is also very important
though we can go longer
without it than without water.
An emergency
food bar is
great because it has all the
nutrients you need as well as
a long shelf life. One bar
provides enough calories for
three days. You can also opt
for ready meals (MRE's) which
come with or without heaters
in a variety of flavors such
as chicken with rice and beef
chili. |
