FAQ
FAQ
How much emergency water should be planned per person?
Many institutional emergency plans use 0.33 to 0.5 gallons of drinking water per person per day. Individual pouches provide controlled servings when full bottled storage is not practical due to space, rotation, or procurement constraints. Consult your district or agency emergency plan for specific requirements.
Are pouches suitable for classroom storage?
Yes. Single-serve pouches are commonly used in classroom emergency kits because they store compactly, simplify distribution, and avoid the need for shared containers or cups. They can be placed in sealed kits, supply bins, or cabinets maintained by school staff or safety coordinators.
Do pouches require purification before use?
No. Contents are purified through reverse osmosis and UV sterilization during production and sealed for long-term storage. Pouches are designed for direct use without additional treatment.
Can pouches be stored in locations without climate control?
Yes, when stored indoors away from direct sunlight and contaminants. Pouches can be kept in classrooms, offices, closets, or other indoor areas that are not climate controlled throughout the school year. Avoid conditions that approach the extreme ends of the recommended temperature range provided in the Specifications tab.
How should pouches that are expired or near expiration be handled?
Emergency water should be rotated based on the expiration date printed on the pouch or case. Many schools and organizations plan rotation during their annual readiness review so supplies are replaced on a set schedule. If you have a larger quantity of pouches approaching the expiration date, consider contacting local food banks, shelters, or community support organizations to ask whether they can accept sealed, unexpired emergency water for distribution. Donation programs and acceptance policies vary, so it’s best to contact organizations directly in advance.
If your team needs assistance planning a rotation cycle or locating local donation resources, we can help connect you with organizations that may accept expiring water supplies.
Emergency drinking water pouches are often used when planners need a compact, portion-controlled water supply for classrooms, offices, and response kits. Individual sealed servings make it easy to issue water hygienically without shared containers or cups. The slim pouch design fits well in lockdown bins, mobile kits, and evacuation bags where space and weight are limited. It provides a dependable baseline of drinking water during short-term shelter-in-place events or disruptions.
This product is absolutely a must for our emergency packets. I have put them in my home emergency box and car emergency packets as well. Highly portable and compact.
